Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde
3.0
Actual rating: 2.5/5
I was really excited to start reading this but in the end Queens of Geek just did not live up to my expectations.
Let's start with the things I did like. I actually loved how diverse this book is, a lot of important issues regarding sexuality and mental health are addressed in the book and it's done very well. As someone who suffers from anxiety I can definitely say that the portrayal of anxiety in the book is really accurate.
Another thing I really liked was that the story is set at a comic con. I personally love going to conventions and that made it easy to relate to the main characters. It was so fun to read a book that was set at a comic con and after reading it I'm definitely excited to go to another convention next year!
However, the reason I'm only giving a 2.5 star rating is because I think the story itself is pretty lacklustre. There's not much of a plot and the writing and dialogue are average. Overall it is a pretty cute quick read but I wouldn't expect too much from it.
