Tall, Dark, and Nerdy

4.5 / 5 nerdy stars

While nerdy heroes and best-friends-to-more are some of my favorite tropes, the whole billionaire thing... isn't. So I was curious to see how that combination would work out in this story.

I was downright delighted (ha!) to see that Oliver is not a spoiled trust-fund kiddo and that, despite his sudden wealth, he's mostly* the same down-to-earth guy as before.

“Honestly, Jackson, sometimes I think all this wealth is wasted on you.”
He didn't miss a beat. His lip curving up on one side in amusement. “That's why I'm giving it away to others.”

No one noticed me—not really—and then Oliver came along and noticed me enough for everybody.
