Geek Girl by Cindy C Bennett

So I went into Geek Girl pretty much knowing what to expect.  "Let's turn the geek into a bad boy" books are highly predictable, but I also found this one touching. Awww.  It's like the stuff that teenage romantic comedies are made of.  Bad girl wants to prove she is bad by finding nerdy boy and turning him to the dark side.  But...but what happens when she starts to fall in love with him AND realizes he has nice abs???  I'm not going to tell you; find out for yourself.  Something that the ARC copy from NetGalley had that I hope is included in the regular release is a discussion question section at the end of the book.  I thought it added some depth to the story that I initially overlooked and made me sit and think about the choices that characters made in the book.

lNot a life-altering read, but one that I enjoyed. Recommended for teens - even though the "bad boy" crowd doesn't make the best choices, I think the author does a good job at pointing out that what they are doing is stupid without getting preachy about it.
