Any info about being a YouTuber in this book is what you observe from being a viewer, not an actual creator. Charlie had the label of a vlogger and she posts videos and she has fans, but that’s it. I was really excited to read a book about a YouTuber like myself, but like every other book including a vlogger that I’ve read, it really underestimates the work YouTubers do. Conversation just felt very inauthentic/planned as opposed to natural, so this aspect fell pretty flat for me. The passages on certain topics are FLAWLESSLY WRITTEN but the dialogue fell short for me. While I definitely loved Queens of Geek my 4.5 stars is a fairly critical 4.5 stars because I definitely think QOG has flaws, such as: Cute, funny, sweet, so fluffy and full of feels. Supportive friends, breaking out of comfort zones, so so so much love. Really beautiful passages on bisexuality, autism/aspberger’s, & anxiety (like, literally so freaking beautiful I could die) Confronts really important issues like biphobia, bi-erausre, fatshaming, sexism, and toxic relationships Plus size main character with Asperger’s and dealing with an anxiety disorder Chinese-Australian Bisexual main character OWN VOICES FOR BI REP, ASPIE REP, AND ANXIETY REP 4.5 Stars (but it gets a 5/5 for cuteness)! I really really enjoyed this book! I’m hoping to film a full, indepth review for my YouTube channel, but for now, here’s a quick list of reasons to read Queens of Geek:
