A review by humgruffin
The Secret Loves of Geek Girls by Hope Nicholson, Marjorie Liu, Margaret Atwood
I don't think I can fairly give this a rating because a) half of the pictures in my digital library edition wouldn't load, so I couldn't read the book in its entirety, and b) my expectations were way, way off.
Like Kelly Sue Deconnick, the comic book writer that did the foreword, I thought "secret loves" meant "unexpected passions", as in weird hobbies and interests. It's nothing like that. It's mostly about romance and sexuality. I also thought the whole thing would be a graphic novel. And fiction. So I was super setting myself up for a disappointing time.
On the plus side, I did rediscover a couple comic book writers that I used to follow over a decade ago.
