Ally Wetherhold asked Sarvenaz Tash:

I'm not really into comics, but I still want to read A Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love. Will I still be able to understand it?

Sarvenaz Tash Hi Luna,

Great question! You definitely don't have to be into comics to understand THE GEEK'S GUIDE TO UNREQUITED LOVE. The comic/fandom that Graham and Roxana are into the most (and discuss the most) is actually fictional, so it's explained throughout. If you are into comics, there might be some names of writers/artists that you'd recognize, but if you don't recognize them, it wouldn't affect your understanding of the plot at all.

There are also references to tons of movies, TV shows, and books. I'd like to think there are hidden jokes and easter eggs for people who are into a variety of different things, but even if you weren't into any of them, you'd still be able to enjoy the book.

Thank you for your question and I hope you like the book!
