Blaze

I'm about to start reading the book Blaze, written by Laurie Boyle Crompton. The book has received many spectacular reviews from fellow authors.
"One of the most relatable anti-love stories we've come across in a while" (Seventeen.com).

"Blaze made me laugh...and cringe...and laugh again. The blend of snark and heart will keep you turning the pages" (Mandy Hubbard, author of Prada and Prejudice).

"Lauren Boyle Cromptons's super power is bringing the funny. Readers should make this book their trusty side-kick" (Eileen Cook, author of Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood).
The book is about a nerdy girl [that draws comics, of course] named Blaze, sister of Josh, whose main goal is to get Mark to notice her. When Mark, soccer stud and lady-killer, humiliates her "supervillian-style", this geek is out for revenge. 

I heard about this book from a few people, and decided I'd give it a go.  I like the fact that it's unique and about a girl who knows who she is and won't just fall in love with some guy even if he's a complete jerk. I mean, she had a crush on him to begin with, but I suppose that would be a given.
