Even the rights report of this made me emotional.... I would have LOVED for a book like this when I was a teen. My Black, Awkward, Cool geekish heart can't wait for this!

As always with anthologies, there were some I liked and some not so much. I DID like how every type of nerd, from anime to theater kids to bookworms, all of it was in here. I just found that so cool and reassuring. Coming from someone who didn't get that when I was in grade school, I would have loved to have a book like this to make me feel less alone. Real review to come on my blog.
