Book Review: The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller

This novel was a quick ready. It was recommended to me by my fellow co-blogger even though I don't normally read contemporary novels. She thought I would enjoy the nerdy parts, and as it turns out; she was right.

Three words to describe how much I enjoyed the book.

IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!

I enjoyed the story and thought it was very cute. It reminded me very much of myself when I was younger and how Maddie faced many of the same demons in her past that I did; it was easy to relate to. It is a book I think that anyone can relate to because the whole story is about being yourself and that is the best that you can do. That is something everyone faces; be your self or follow the crowd. The book does a very good job showing how being your self is better.

Onto the story portion; I loved every part in this book that dealt with live action role playing. This totally had my nerd coming out and I decided to play an elf in my next adventure. Everyone got so into their character and that made it very enjoyable to read. The best scene of the role playing was the final duel and the good guys always win.
