A review by carolynaugustyn
The Secret Loves of Geek Girls by Hope Nicholson, Marjorie Liu, Margaret Atwood

3.0

I mostly enjoyed this- definitely a great assortment of contributors! I was really interested in the topic for the book- love in the geek girl world. Like actual romance novel love. Definitely not a topic usually seen or celebrated by geek ladies often (at least not that I see). I found some of the essays and short comics to be really awesome and inspiring and interesting. Some...less so. I had an issue with the tone of some of the pieces- some came off as preachy and judgmental about ladies that don't subscribe to the author's beliefs. Of course, I could be reading into it and maybe my issues come from a more personal place. However, I did end up skipping a few pieces because I just did not enjoy what I was reading and was ready to move on to something that would make more sense to me/my life. Lots of advice and lovely stories to read, definitely glad I stumbled across this at my local library.
