But being able to see, that with some support, she was able to get through everything that her anxiety threw at her, is a really hopeful thing to see. Seeing Taylor have to work through not only panic attacks but also her social anxiety was kind of tough to get through because I know how those things feel. But I feel like Taylor was so similar to myself in so many more different ways that I just had to keep reading. I'm sure it's pretty easy to pick out who I connected with most considering, hello, I love to read. Charlie, who is a break out actress with a blossoming Youtube channel, Jamie, who is in love with pretty much all things comics, and Taylor, who's one life goal is to meet the author of her all time favorite book series. In Queens of Geek we follow three friends. I have never read a book that I have connected with one of the main characters so deeply as I did with Queens of Geek. “ fun read about fandom, friendship and the courage to be yourself.” -Autostraddle "This celebration of geek culture and fandom promotes diversity and being true to oneself." - School Library Journal "This fun book about fierce friendships gives voice to a group of diverse female characters who are so defined by so much more than just their mental health and sexuality." - Bustle Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde, chosen by readers like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads, is an empowering novel for anyone who has ever felt that fandom is family. But when she hears about a fan contest for her favorite fandom, she starts to rethink her rules on playing it safe. And there’s one thing in her life she knows will never change: her friendship with her best guy friend Jamie-no matter how much she may secretly want it to.
Her brain is wired differently, making her fear change. When internet-famous cool-girl actress Alyssa Huntington arrives as a surprise guest, it seems Charlie’s long-time crush on her isn’t as one-sided as she thought. She’s a vlogger and actress promoting her first movie at SupaCon, and this is her chance to show fans she’s over her public breakup with co-star Reese Ryan. "This is the geeky, queer book of our dreams.
Seeing girls and women uplifting, protecting, and loving each other is extremely powerful especially in the context of fandom. " Full of irreverent humor and in-jokes, it’s geeky and funny, with a heavy dose of self-discovery. Three friends, two love stories, one convention: this fun, feminist love letter to geek culture is all about fandom, friendship, and finding the courage to be yourself.
