Geek Charming is about a popular girl named Dylan who accidentally tosses her bag in a fountain. A guy named Josh offers to retrieve it in exchange for Dylan letting him film her for his documentary. In the beginning Josh thinks Dylan is a stuck up brat and Dylan in turn thinks Josh is a film geek. Throughout the novel they become friends and discover a whole other side of each other. This is a funny and lighthearted coming of age story. You will love be charmed by the characters and get sucked into the plot. This book was fast paced and an easy read. This book was less than three hundred pages and it only took me a couple of hours to read. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a beach read to enjoy. ( )

I love this book because it is unpredictable and really true.. it relates to real life and the characters are awesome.
I find the book sweet and sentimental.
Really touching and an awesome ending.
I also love the characters especially Amy and Dylan. ( )

Not bad, just kinda stupid. Told in alternating chapters by the spoiled rich princess who isn't necessarily as awful as she seems and the self-proclaimed film geek who plans to make a documentary about her. The diva's sudden change from "get away from me" to "hey, let's hang out, you can help me" is--well, believable in that she would see the benefit to herself, but I doubt she would actually start treating Josh as nicely as she does and let her guard down so much.

Then there's also Josh (the film geek) convinced that she's his Annie Hall, which, no. (Lessons learned from Mystery Science Theater: "never put a good movie in your crappy movie.")

I never did come around to liking the princess, and Josh is a weird blend of assertive drive to get his movie done and doormat to whatever his "subject" wants him to do. It'll find an audience (sigh) but so not for me. ( )

Geek Charming by Robin Palmer is about a girl named Dylan who is at the top of the popularity chain. Dylan makes Regina George look like Eleanor Roosevelt. Anyways Dylan makes a promise to let Josh, one of her geeky classmates, make a documentary about her and the other popular people.As a character, I couldn't stand Dylan. I have little tolerance for people who seem to dumb to breath the same air as me. I mean, this character, Dylan though Annie Hall was a person who went to her school, not a film. Also, she has a boy name. I know, I know, as a feminist I should not be irritated when people's names do not conform to gender standards, but still. Anyways, within the book we get to see that Dylan is a human too. Honestly, I still felt she was one dimensional even while I was reading about her 'human' side. Plus, she's manipulative -- she would make others do her homework. All she cared about was shopping and celebrities, not very endearing to me.Now, Josh on the other hand was wonderful. He's the film geek. He's passionate, he's not an idiot. Josh had qualities I admire, such as being a good friend and not backstabbing his friends. You see, Josh gets a makeover and somewhat enters the popular crowd, but he's still close with his friends from his pre-makeover days. Josh's biggest flaw was how nervous he would get. That was aggravating, I couldn't stop thinking, grow a set and get on with it. Now, this is high school, so obviously I should have let it slide, but man was it annoying.The writing was average. I was consistently reminded that Josh is a geek (does anyone really use that word anymore?!) and that Dylan is popular and beautiful. The story alternates between Josh's point of view and Dylan's. Towards the end Josh and Dylan began to sound alike, which was a weak point for me. Really, I've read much better YA. However, this book was fluff and definitely not a Printz-contender. I suppose it's a good read when you are between books and have not a clue as to what to read next, but really need a book in your hand. ( )

Not a heavy duty book, but still one with enough good observations on human nature and conflict/growth of characters to be fun. I was pleased that it was not just your typical boy meets girl, they are of two colliding worlds but then find true love in each other's arms book, but more of a development of a good friendship. ( )
