I read about half in one day and the other half way later on another day. I skimmed through quite a bit. It was honestly just kind of boring which bummed me out because it looked so cute!

This is a lovely, gratifying collection of perspectives on what it's like to fall in and out of love as a geek girl and that how we choose to love is A-OK. The representation is super inclusive and spans a lot of geekery. There were a few essays I chose to skip when they pertained to a certain kind of geek life that I don't participate in and had a harder time following, but almost all the other essays were SPOT ON.

Ordningen jag läst de av Hope Nicholson redigerade antologierna med essäer om nördars kärleksliv är inte den naturliga, varför jag nu precis avslutat den första delen, The secret loves of geek girls. Som tidigare är det fråga om korta texter eller serier där olika nördar, här enbart kvinnliga, berättar om sina kärlekar, ofta romantisk-sexuella men även platonska eller till olika typer av populärkultur eller teknik.

Vissa skriver om lyckade relationer, andra om misslyckade. Många skriver om vägen till självkännedom, en del analyserar populärkulturella troper. En del närmar sig det barnförbjudna, men för det mesta är händerna ovanför täcket. Till skillnad från senare delar är även stilen ganska tam, och även om nörderiet gör att inte alla delar kommer vara helt begripliga för alla läsare, så kommer det i huvudsak vara för att man missar referenser, inte på grund av stilistiska val.

Har man läst några av de andra böckerna i serien vet man dock om man gillar det här: det är mer av samma, och lika bra, eller dåligt, för att hjälpa en att förstå sig själv och kanske känna sig mindre ensam.

What an excellent collection.

I liked just about everything in it. Tons of great artwork, cute anecdotes, interesting takes on life lessons, and stories that really hit home.

A forewarning for anyone who might not be super open-minded: Many of the stories and comics deal with lesbian relationships (and bisexual, trans, polyamorous, etc., but mostly lesbian). Take them and appreciate them for what they are--beautiful stories of love, loss, and self-discovery. The fact that they're not the "standard" straight relationships has no bearing on how beautiful the stories are. Just take it from a straight girl who found them exceedingly lovely.

So many topics are touched on here: fitting in, growing up geeky, finding love when you don't even love yourself much, long distance relationships, growing out of the idolizing-fictional-characters phase (or not), and a bazillion other things.

I think the longest entries were maybe 6 pages, so it's easy to just pick up this book and read a few stories or comics when you have a couple of minutes.

Definitely recommend.
