Enchanting YA Review: Queen Geeks In Love

QUEEN GEEKS IN LOVE LAURA PREBLE Rating: 3.5 Enchantments Shelby Chapelle is back. And life this summer is anything but easy for this Queen Geek. Between her boyfriend Fletcher and her best friend Becca, not to mention her involvement in QUEEN GEEKS, Shelby's summer is teetering on the brink of complicated. First of all, Shelby isn't sure she wants to be as exclusive as Fletcher would like to be. In fact, she wants to run screaming the other way when he turns too much into a boyfriend. Becca has HUGE plans for the Queen Geeks this summer and Shelby gets pulled in along for the ride, even if she thinks Becca's plans are a wee bit impossible. And when Becca finds herself in a mini-love triangle involving of all things, a guy in a giant rabbit costume who writes poetry, it seems like it's up to Shelby to keep things running smoothly for both the Geeks and their friendship. Can the Queen Geeks survive Becca's almost impossible-to-succeed plans for the club? And will guys be the reason the Queen Geeks finally split apart? I really enjoyed this book. Shelby's a fun character and I liked her immediately from the first page. One of my favorite scenes is when the Queen Geeks decide to hit Comic-con in full costume and end up shadowed by the guy dressed as a giant rabbit. Truly a laugh out loud moment. Overall, a fun second book in the QUEEN GEEKS series. I look forward to reading more! Lisa Enchanting Reviews January 2008

For any girl who has wondered what happened to books about "the rest of us," please check out "Queen Geeks." This sequel to "Queen Geeks Social Club" continues Preble's tradition of addressing more realistic teen problems in the funniest and craziest ways. What I loved about this book is the way it portrayed how each of the girls felt about boys-- Elisa being blunt and embarrassing, Shelby being confused and sending mixed signals, Becca being overeager, Amber falling in love. But no fear: there is a never-ending supply of crazy situations and hilarious hook-ups. A must for any geek (in disguise or otherwise.)

Last time, in The Queen Geek Social Club, Shelby and her new best friend, Becca, created a group full of average girls that would try to take over the world, one Twinkie at a time. Along the way, Shelby had to get used to her dad dating, making sure her friend didn't go too far, and falling for the oh-so-adorable Fletcher. Shelby Chapelle is back, this time with even more sticky situations. Shelby and Fletcher have gotten pretty close, except for the parts where she starts to pull away or changes the subject when things get too serious. Sure, Fletcher is great, but since he is Shelby's first boyfriend, freaking out over everything that goes on between them seems like the sensible thing to do. Besides, who really wants to be affectionate in public? Their relationship could work out, just as long as Fletcher takes all of Shelby's actions with a grain of salt, and doesn't question too much on what is going on. But Shelby better watch out, since Fletcher is becoming the apple of some of the girls' eyes in her school. Who could resist a guy that is the perfect gentlemen, knows where to eat, and can sing karaoke without getting embarrassed? Boy troubles continue when Becca and Amber fall for Jon, the very cute and very artsy guy. Aside from all the love drama, the Queen Geeks are hoping to take their social club to higher levels. Becca is fancying up the website and entering it into a web contest, hoping that their club will get better and even more publicity. Then there is their Geekfest talent show where all sorts of talents, both plain and weird, can be showcased. And, of course, we can't forget about the assembling of the Geektastic Four, co-created by Jon, for the Comic Con competition. Four girls, with four superpowers. There is Smart-tastic, Organize-i-tastic, Art-tastic and Vege-tastic. The Queen Geeks are stronger than ever and here to stay. So long as the one thing they never worried about, BOYS!, doesn't take over their brains. Charming, intriguing, satisfying, hilarious, candid, attention-grabbing, witty, defining, and smart, QUEEN GEEKS IN LOVE is basically great! Every single character that we all came to love, from Shelby to Euphoria, is back and better than ever. With even more problems and the hilarious actions that go along with them, Laura Preble takes us deeper into the world of some pretty crazy girls. Who said that sequels could never be as good as the first? Let's just hope that there is a sequel for the sequel! Reviewed by: Randstostipher "tallnlankyrn" Nguyen
