This is a cute romance where the sweet girl finally notices the geeky guy from high school.Samantha is dating a guy who she thinks is cheating on her. She and her best friend are discussing him and talking about the upcoming high-end wedding of a former classmate during their morning coffee at their favorite shop, when they notice another classmate, Freddie. Samantha always remembered that he was nice to people, but was quiet and loved to draw, and was a bit geeky. It looked like little had changed from the way he was dressed. Freddie had always had a crush on Samantha and sees an opportunity, asking her for advice on how to change his image for the upcoming wedding.This is a fairly predictable romance, but is very feel-good and well-written. Characterization and dialogue is very well done of the protagonists. Every girl should have a Freddie in her life, even though I think he should have kept his status a bit more hidden. She'd have to be really dense not to notice, even though Freddie worries about the reasons why girls date him. Other supporting characters are a bit two-dimensional, I would have liked a bit more depth in the boyfriend. But I suppose that was kind of the point.Overall, a nice little novella for a light afternoon read.
