 I am smitten! Smitten with these characters; smitten with this author; smitten with this book. I can't really describe it. After reading Tash's debut, Three Day Summer, I knew I would read anything she wrote. It was such a great story about human interaction at a time that seems so long ago. I loved the characters and the story telling and they heart behind it all. So when I heard about The Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love it was a given I would read it. What I didn't expect was how taken I would be by it. It was so fun and real and epic and wondrous. 
 The thing that I loved the most about The Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love, besides the characters (more on that below), is that it isn't a coming of age book. It isn't a book about comic nerds. It isn't even a true love story/romance. The Geek's Guide is a book that is real. Things in life don't always go as planned. You don't always win the big game, or get into the school of your dreams. You don't always get the girl or get something you are hoping for. Life just doesn't work that way. You have to adapt and move on and come up with a new plan or idea. Tash captured that to perfection with Graham's story. Nothing went the poor kid's way. Everything that could go wrong for him did, but he just kept on going. Whether he was mad or sad or hurt or happy, he just kept on going like we all have to do. 
 Actually Graham was the one character that made the book for me. Don't get me wrong, I loved Roxy and co., but Graham was like a red headed Seth Cohen (and let's face it Seth Cohen made geeky hot). He had this inner dialogue that just killed me. He was quirky and funny and charming. I liked him immediately and he truly made me giggle throughout the book. And his knowledge of pop-culture...OH MY GOD! So epic. Graham was the perfect kind of character to control this kind of story and I kind of love him (and the rest of them). 
 Basically this book was just what I needed to reminded me about the ups and downs of life and love and friendship. Sarvenez crafted a book that is so perfect (sorry Felicia) that I need everyone to read it and be smitten with me. To be honest I knew I would love it after Three Day Summer, but I didn't know I would end up being as over the moon about it as I was. If Tash's books are not on your radar you need to fix that immediately. She is one author that is doing great, great things. Now go and read her books!
