Geek to Chic

by Shirley Marks

When Silicon Valley engineer Nicholas Atwood donates two years' salary to charity, he is unwillingly thrust into the limelight. Aware of his social awkwardness and terrified of publicly disgracing his upper crust family, he seeks the help of a highly recommended image consultant. Maybe she can turn him into the perfect son, ideal brother, and articulate, gregarious foundation spokesman.

Doctor Kate O'Connor has transformed dozens of nerds into self-confident, socially successful men. Her foolproof method takes months, sometimes even years to work its magic, but Nick has just one week. Kate knows she's accepting the biggest challenge of her career to take on a project of this magnitude on such short notice, but as she helps uncover Nick's inner-hunk, can she handle the challenge to her heart when her feelings for him turn personal?

I really like the way Marks wrote this book. It was really simply and pulled me in fast. I finished it the day I started, partly the awesome writing and partly my no life. It is worth reading and I am going to look into her other stuff!

Short and sweet. Was this amazing work of literary genius, no. Was it a fun casual read, yes! I will be entirely honest when I admit if it wasn’t for the last couple of chapters dragging it down this book would have gotten at least four stars. Those sections well our main characters were separated could have been so much more impactful and frankly far less dull if there had been a little editing magic. Overall though if we ignore that last little section this was a really enjoyable book. It was an easy read that delivered precisely what it was supposed to.

Really 3.5 stars.
It's sweet, charming, and a quick read.
There's nothing bad about it besides feeling a bit rushed, but there's really nothing there to make it stand out from a crowd or make me want to recommend it.

The female character doubted herself and her relationship to such an extreme extent that I grew to dislike her. She created a man sent him out to do a job and the minute he walked out the door their relationship was over just because he wasn't able to spend every waking minute with her. Maybe they fell in love too early in the novel, but really they were both rather silly.

This book was so dumb! My expectations weren't high, but wow did this book have some problems with its basic philosophy.
