 Review: In the past few weeks/months, I've heard people talking about this book, loving this book so much. Not my first time picking up books from the hype, so why would it be the last? I'm not sure if I'd be thankful to read this book or not, but surely I had no regrets. 
 Queen of Geeks follows a story of two girls at a convention. Whereas Charlie being a famous youtuber and actress doing a lot of press with her co-star at this SupaCon, Taylor lines up to meet her favorite author for the first time. They knew that SupaCon was going to be an excitement and amazing convention, but once Charlie meets Alyssa, another fellow youtuber, things changes and Charlie's feeling for Alyssa was not one-sided. And Taylor is being indecisive about her role in the Queen Firestone contest. 
 This is going to be such a negative start, but okay. The writing wasn't the best, in my opinion. I believe that it was an easy, light-hearted read and it can be finished in one sitting, yet the dialogues were very unrealistic. They were so cheesy and cringey, which were the things that I found really annoying. I feel like I was reading a fanfiction. In contrast, what I felt really emotional and what I appreciated in this book was the confrontation of issues like fat-shaming, biphobia, sexism, toxic relationships and paragraphs regarding bisexuality, autism, Aspergers, and anxiety. 
 I could like the plot in this book if it wasn't too similar to a fanfiction I wrote when I was 11. Like seriously, no joke. I know that conventions are supposed to be fun and fluffy, although I've never been to one. But what happened in this book were too close to what 11-year-old me wrote. Nonetheless, I still appreciated the quiky parts, even though it wasn't swoon worthy. 
 My favorite character in this book was Taylor. As an Aspergers, I believe that I relate to her. She was more of the reason that I don't have to feel alone in this big universe. She reminded me a lot about myself as well. So most of the cringey dialogue came from Charlie, not my favorite character but still okay. She's a Chinese-Australian and she was strong and stood up for her friends; those were her certain strongest points. 
 Overall: I find this book a really quick read and it deals with a lot of issues. It fell a little flat for me on the fanfiction parts. But I still would recommend it to people who want a short and light story to follow.
