I'm a sucker for a nerd. Especially a hot nerd who doesn't know how hot they are. And cherry on top? Dude still has his cherry. I'm in love right from the start! All the characters are really great and set a great foundation not only for the couple featured here in Nerdgasm, but also for the rest of the Naughty Nerds which I will definitely be reading.
Theo is a sweet boy that has a stutter. He's a great man who has built his life on solid principles of behavior that make him honorable and admirable. When he's almost knocked flat by the whirlwind that is Addy he gets the chance to learn and grow romantically as well. He brings a solid stability to their relationship that I adore. His character had an incredible amount of depth. And the way he sticks up for himself and his choices regarding bullying is fantastic! There's room for improvement and with Addy's fierceness in the back of his mind, he does just that.
Addy's got a direct attitude that serves her well with Theo and she's open-minded and enthusiastically honest. She comes off quite young, which is fitting for her age, and her immaturity sometimes concerns me in terms of longevity. There's no sign whatsoever that she's flighty or inconsistent however, so that concern becomes unfounded the farther we get into the story. Addison is a good character but she's not nearly as deep or fully fleshed out as Theo. Her fierce attitude complements Theo's mellow attitude about most things but she's also a bit high-strung and it causes difficulties between them. Once she gets the full picture of Theo's past she realizes just what she's done and is willing to do whatever it takes to make amends.
The whole story is sweet, short, fits the ages of the characters, and read to that same demographic as well. There's a solid cast with the professor, Demi, and even Brock the bully that keeps me invested in the rest of the Naughty Nerd stories. If you're wondering why all this praise only merits 3.5 stars from me it's because of the lack of depth. While the story is great, there's just so much lightness and goodness that the conflict seems quite small in the scheme of things. The HEA is earned, but only because they were both willing to work things out. Overall it was just that the relationship felt, read, and stayed juvenile from start to finish. It was a great story with wonderful characters, just a bit floaty and sweet all the way through.
