Any other YA books with a geeky guy for a hero?

[✿ℎazℯℓ - thℯ ℛock Cℎick ℱairy✿]

I'm looking for YA books wherein the guy love interest is extra smart. Like Matt in Flat-Out Love. Any ideas? I think i'll remember some later on but for now, please help me out. It's for my 18 year old cousin.

A lot of John Green books have a geeky male lead. I just read Ready Player One and loved it. Lola and the Boy Next Door is also a good one.

I second John Green. I also like Sam in Shiver (musician who loves reading and works in a book store), Dash in Dash & Lily's Book of Dares (another bookworm) and/or Nick in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist (socially awkward music geek). I am always drooling over the nerdy boys so I am happy to help. Some others on my TBR list with nerdy boys and nerdy themes are:
Seth Baumgartner's Love Manifesto (creates a podcast about love)
Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd(short stories by celebrated "nerd" authors such as John Green)
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (described in one synopsis as "never been popular and always thinking")

I am sure there are more and if I can think of any I will add them.

White Cat

I agree with John Green and recommend specifically Looking for Alaska because it's still my favorite. Also agree with Ready Player One (nerdiest book ever in some ways) and White Cat.

I know there are more but my brain is drawing a blank for some reason.

Um... I've never read them and I don't know if they're actually books or graphic novels... but I've heard of Scott Pilgrim books.

They are graphic novels and quite good. Very nerdy as well. I have not finished reading all of them though. Thanks for the reminder!

Just wanted to say THANKS you guys! i bought her two John Green novels, Nick and Norah's Infinite playlist, Lola and the boy next door and i cannot believe i forgot about Ready Player One. I gave her my audiobook of that one! =)

Not a YA book but if you like paranormal reads, the Georgina Kincaid series starting with has the main love interest as a nerdy writer :) plus the series is awesome which is a plus.

Julie Halpern's has a very sweet and very intelligent male love interest. :)

Oh Heidi, I loved Ready Player One! Such a fun book! :)

And yeah, I'd recommend Looking for Alaska, and I Going Bovine--although with Going Bovine I think I should mention that the book was "too weird" for a lot of people. I loved it, though :)
