Hetty Locklear soon discovers being an adult isn't as magical as she'd hoped it would be in M. Pax's The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear.Hetty Locklear is unlike any character I've ever read about. She's awkward, a tad shy, and a bit lost on what she wants to do with her life, but she's also a very cool geek, who's very loyal. Her best friends have so much character and add to the storyline. And the men vying for Hetty's attention make this novel a fun and sometimes quite steamy read. And having spent many hours role-playing online, I love that Hetty and her friends enjoy that too. It definitely brought back memories of good times.Sometimes the wordy descriptions had me skimming a bit here and there, and the plot could've been a bit tighter. The worldbuilding was fascinating, but I would've liked to learned more about it as some of the plot threads had a science fiction feel with a hint of fantasy. I liked how Hetty slowly grows more confident in who she is toward the end as well. As for the ending, it had me on the edge of my seat, and I hope Pax gets around to writing book two, so I can see what happens next.Overall, The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear by M. Pax is an enjoyable read and sure to bring out the geek in us all.
