A Little Side of Geek

A Little Side of Geek by Marguerite Labbe was such a pleasure to read! I don’t take enough opportunity to read simple, sweet, fun books like this so it was a welcome distraction. The two main characters both have family issues, so I’m not belittling their drama, but they’re both mild and easy to work through. Morris has a lovely, supportive family and he has to learn to let their criticisms roll off his back. He’s also a bit of a commitment phobe, but that’s another easy one to overcome, being has he’s found himself in a relationship with Theo. Theo’s dealing with something a bit more intense, but he’s also got a good support system in place and everything just needs to work itself out. Labbe draws these dramas out throughout the book and it is very well done. There was even one tearjerker moment (and for me, that’s hard to accomplish, so kudos to Ms. Labbe). The cast is full of colorful characters and there’s a sweet peek into comic/geek/games culture. I really enjoyed this one and highly recommend it to folks looking for a well written, sweet story. I'd also love a copy of the amazing recipes Theo dreams up!
