The Wrong Kind of Weird is a coming-of-age story that follows Cameron, a nerdy high school senior who is struggling to mold himself into something he isn't because of a girl. Cameron has been having a secret physical relationship with the queen bee student council president Karla ever since they worked together as baristas over the summer. Cameron is a member of Geeks and Nerds United (GANU) along with his small group of anima and manga loving friends. Cameron and Karla occupy different high school social strata and, as such, can't be seen together. As Cameron tries to infiltrate the popular crowd, along comes confident nerdy Mackenzie, the sister of Karla's bullying ex. Just as Cameron is making decisions about who he wants to be with and how he wants to be treated, everything melts down due to an exposure on social media. Cameron is relatable and likeable, as are his GANU friends. There is an Austenesque quality to this book, because the reader knows, far before Cameron does, who and what is right for him. The Wrong Kind of Weird is entertaining, witty and fun, exploring the themes of self-acceptance, friendship, and the dangers of stereotypes. I appreciate the diverse and LBGTQ+ representation among the characters. Not a reflection on the quality of the book but it is incongruous that Karla is portrayed as blonde and white on the cover, yet the character definitely isn't.
