Nerdelicious by Mary Frame
3.0
I've been wanting a nice easy romcom lately, but I haven't had any in my pile. And then Voila! I won one from Goodreads. Very exciting.
Nerdelicious is a cute, quirky, hot and totally predictable romcom with a bunch of nerdy pop culture references thrown in. I'd score myself about an 80% in recognizing them. Obviously I got the Harry Potter ones :). And my favorite reference was from HP. Whenever the main character Fred (the girl. short for Fredericka), had ugly thoughts inside her head, they were in Delores Umbridge's voice. That voice that tells you when you've done something stupid or embarrassing. The voice that tells you you're worthless. All Delores. Which is apt and brilliant in my opinion.
Fred is laying low in a small town in Texas following a break up. She's 22 and facing the rest of her life. She doesn't have a job, and most of her friends belonged to her ex and she's just not sure where she's going.
She's lucky to be surrounded by a super quirky and loving cast of characters. None of them are "normal" but they are all lovely. When Beast, a hulking young man who can't speak asks her for dating advice, they become super close.
It was cute. It was silly. It's part of a companion set of books that can all be read as stand alones, but I'll definitely put the others on my list.
