The Wrong Kind of Weird gives the right kind of vibes for all the drama of romance in a modern high school. Cameron is a self-proclaimed anime superfan that peppers references to both old and new shows in his dialogue and internal musings, particularly the various iterations of Dragon Ball. I liked that his friends and fellow GANU members had different nerd areas of expertise. Jocelyn's high level cosplay was a fun side storyline that I haven't seen reflected in many "nerdy" books; her passion accurately reflected that of my friends who are very involved in cosplay. I liked the "stumbled into" nature of Cameron and Karla's relationship, the chapters going back in time to how they became sort of friends/make-out buddies added a lot of depth to Karla in particular, taking her beyond the stereotypical queen bee character she is first perceived as.
