Once Upon a Comic-Con

Perfect Conclusion. This tale turned out to be about a somewhat unexpected couple - the male was fully expected, but based on the other two books this reader somewhat expected the female to be a different character than who it turned out to be. But it actually made for the perfect conclusion to the series, with a tale that had similar themes of the two other books but in a form that hit home according to this reader's own experiences in high school - on both sides, as it would turn out. Excellent story of what some call the Stained Glass Masquerade and how it can be overcome by love. Very highly recommended.

When the head cheerleader out-geeks the geek... <3

I'd never thought I'd say this, especially after Matt's less-than-stellar behavior in the first two books, but this turned out to be my favorite story in the series!

Having met goody two-shoes Julia before, the particular way she fell from grace took me a bit by surprise - but, as a geek myself, I was delighted to find out just how big a closet-geek Julia actually is.
Getting to know a bit more of her backstory explained a lot about her tendency to hide potential vulnerabilites behind that perfect cheerleader mask.

A geeky hero being compared to Clark Kent is pretty cliché, but in this case it actually makes sense, not only because Matt is an aspiring journalist. :)

In the greater scheme of things, I was curious to see how Margo would finally be able to forgive Matt for all the drama he caused with the by now infamous hashtag #GeeksGoneWild. I'm happy that their friendship was able to survive the drama, and one of my favorite scenes is probably the group text/phone call in which Margo and Suzie (try to) set Matt straight.
