Scotty Williams is the nerdiest 17-year-old at Havensdale College - and proud of it. However being a nerd can have its downsides, particularly when you're constantly being targeted by the school bully Taylor Raven and his cronies.

Is Vincent really as bad as he seems? Will Scotty's darkest secret ever be revealed? Can he ever just finish his last few college years in peace? But most importantly... will any guy ever find the reasons to love a nerd like him?

I usually don't read YA because they are usually a little
more angsty than I like. Now add YA and M/M and you have yourself a big angst
fest. However when I saw the word "nerd" in the title I figured I
would give it a try because I'm a huge nerd lover.
Scotty is the sweet, loving, and openly gay boy in school, and like most nerds he is bullied. His big bullier is non other than Taylor, the schools top jock.... obviously. He is locked in closets, hug on hooks in the locker room, and even stabbed in the hand at one point. Let me say I HATED TAYLOR!!
One day Scotty runs into the school bad boy, Vincent, literally. But instead of Vincent being a jerk, he was actually nice to him. After that run in, Scotty's life changes for the good and in ways he wouldn't have imagined.
Like I said before, I HATED TAYLOR, but by the end of this book I kinda felt sorry for the guy. He did redeem himself at the end of the book and I would actually like to know more about him now.
As I said this being a M/M YA it is full of angst and for that reason I kinda had a bit of a hard time with it. It is a long book, 500+ pages, and I do feel like it could have been shortened some. But all in all it was a really sweet story!!
I give this book 3.5 Sweet Spec Stars.
