Once Upon a Comic-Con

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.
