Review: highly enjoyable new adult/chick lit/geek lit hybrid!

Mandy Halsey is an easy to love, geeky wall flower. Or is she? It soon becomes obvious that there's more to her than being the sidekick of a flirty BFF or her interest in comic books.I don't now very much about comic books but I loved it as a "setting" for this novel. It's a novel about boy trouble, but mostly about friendship. The fact that it wasn't yet another NY-based chick-lit made it so much more fun and unexpected.The relationships in The She Code are also very realistic. The "groups" at work, the stereotypes, but most importantly: the BFF. Although Mandy and Sheila have been friends for so many years, Mandy can still see the faults in her BFF, even if she doesn't comment on them. She's forgiving and tolerant (maybe too much for her own good) no matter what, but she's still real.Mandy is a wonderful main character. She goes through a lot, especially towards the end of the story, but she keeps true to herself. I'm not really a "BFF kinda girl", but Mandy sounds like the best BFF a girl could wish for.This review was first published at M's Bookshelf: http://mssbookshelf.blogspot.be
