I read this book because Cale Dietrich (follow him if you don't already!!!), author of The Love Interest, Tweeted such excited tweets about Queens that I had to read it. Now my kids are both reading it. I LOVED THIS little (as in not too long, not as in small content wise, there is huge!!) book!!!
I relate so much to the feeling found and home in a fandom. I appreciated the insight into the toll social anxiety takes on a person who wants to feel whole and part of something, and I loved the autistic character angel, it felt real and honest.
The reminder of the emotions a person tackles as they transition from kid to teen to adult was welcome too. And it was just such a fun glimpse into the nerd world and the life of these likable trio of friends. And HUGE kudos to Jen for writing a guy character who isn't afraid to have feelings and doesn't feel like he has to justify them to keep his "guy cred."
