Nerdelicious: A Kayla Hicks Book Review
What is Nerdelicious by Mary Frame about?
The plan is simple: stay in Blue Falls, Texas, for a few months to lick my wounds, search for work, and save up money to move back to New York. Then breeze back into town with a great job and a new plan for my life, and show my ex and everyone else what I'm made of. Like the Punisher, but you know, without all the violence and eternal vengeance.
So when a silent giant of a man known only as Beast asks me to help him with dating of all things, the simple plan gets a little complicated. Everyone else in this town might fail to notice the intense, talented man beneath the wordless Hulk exterior, but before long, I'm sucked into his quiet world. His washboard abs and Captain America-worthy smiles don't hurt, but it's his heart that makes it impossible to stay away. He's sacrificed his dreams to care for those closest to him. Yet my own dreams will push us apart if I can't find a way to change the script.
I'm only a visitor in Blue Falls, and New York City is calling. If I'm ever going to be the superhero in my own story, I'll have to give up the one person who makes me see that I'm worth the effort. I'll have to give up my heart . . . unless I can convince Beast to leave his own behind.
My Review
Fred is 22 with a degree in psychology and no idea what to do with her life in terms of a career. In addition to this, her long time boyfriend breaks up with her saying that her interests and hobbies are childish.
Fred isn't a normal girl by any means. One, her name is Fred. Two, she spouts off quotes from movies, books, and so many other random interests that often confuse others who don't understand.
So when she stays with her friends family in Texas, she finally begins to feel like she belongs somewhere with people who accept her for who she is. And one of those people is Beast, a mute, handsome guy who always thinks of others.
But, unexpectedly, she begins to catch feelings for Beast as she gets to know him, despite the fact that she is leaving to go back to New York City in two months.
This book was great. I could not put it down.
Fred is a wonderful character with a sweet quirkiness that draws the reader in. The fact that Fred understands how hard it is to be different from anyone else, just like Beast does, makes them a perfect match.
I give this a 5-star review.
