Zoe Rosenthal Is Not Lawful Good

- Blurb -

A buttoned-up overachiever works overtime to keep her inner nerd at bay-failing spectacularly-in Nancy Werlin' s hilarious and heartfelt return to contemporary realistic fiction. Planning is Zoe Rosenthal' s superpower. She has faith in a properly organized to-do list and avoids unnecessary risks. Her mental checklist goes something like this: 1) Meet soulmate: DONE! 2) Make commitment: DONE! 3) Marriage: TO COME! (after college). She isn' t sure which college yet, but it will have a strong political science department, since her perfect boyfriend, Simon, plans to "save the country," as his sister puts it, "and the planet and everything. " Zoe will follow along, the perfect serious, supportive girlfriend. It' s good to have her love life resolved, checked off, done. But speaking of unnecessary risks, Zoe' s on a plane to Atlanta, sneaking off to Dragon Con for the second season premiere of Bleeders. The show is subject to her boyfriend' s lofty scorn, but Zoe is nothing like these colorful hordes "wearing their inside on their outside. " Once her flirtation with fandom is over, she will get back to the important business of planning a future with Simon. The trouble is, right now, Bleeders-and her fellow "Bloodygits"-may just mean the world to her. Will a single night of nerdery be enough? Best-selling and award-winning author Nancy Werlin is best known for science fiction, fantasy, and suspense, but here she turns her pen to realistic fiction with broad appeal. Confirmed nerds will revel in a diverse cast, zany fandoms, and cosplaying crowds, but this is for any reader seeking a smart, breezy coming-of-age story about finding your friends-and your inconvenient self.
