Fairly interesting so far. I'm definitely going to read the next installment. I need to know more about Aditi and Druv's marriage! This is a well-written serial. It gives you just enough information about the characters to make you want to delve deeper into their lives. I really like the serial concept. It's great for quick commutes or waiting in the doctor's office!

First off, let me start by saying that I would not describe this story as erotica…. More like romance or drama? However, it was a wonderfully fun quick read! I would love to read more of these. The characters were totally relatable and the book was cleverly written.

An interesting start to the series. A little young for my taste, but would be fun for a 20 year old. Lots of interaction online, and fun and quirky characters. Many are a little high strung, a little stressed, a little unsure how to handle responsibility, etc. All the ear marks of the young. Fun, but not exactly my usual taste. Would recommend if you want a fast and short read for the summer.

Oooooh this was really good. I don't usually do serials but decided to give this a shot, had no clue what to expect but i loved it! and that ending???? i'm gonna need to go onto episode two for sure.

Of all the women i think Aditi, Taneesha and Michelle are my faves. I did wish we got more of Taneesha in this episode but perhaps we will in the rest?*fingers crossed*

Each woman's voice is so unique, loved that. loved the different aspects of geekiness they bring to their friendship. I need to know what's going on with Aditi and her hubby hmmm. so intrigued!

WTF and well, Geek Actually, offers a fun cast of characters and an awesome subject that is here and now and just what I love the most! I know I will enjoy every last book in this new series!

I reaaally wanted to like these but they just did not work for me. Too light, too vapid.

Not a bad book I just thought it would be better especially after reading the blurb I thought it was going to be a fun read and for a little while it was but for the most part I was bored.

Fun, flirty, and a hearty pinch of sexy (it is after all, only one chapter). WTF introduces us to this group of friends, but focuses in more on a few over the others. The starting focus is Michelle and Aditi, editor and writer, with some of Taneesha's workplace issues thrown in as well. The lambasting of certain... movements/entities is unmistakable and both welcome and uncomfortable as the ladies deal with such recognizable geeky issues in a well written way (specifically Gamer Gate, Sad Puppies, and invisibility of women and PoC in particular in tech industries).

Being a huge geek (MMORPGs, heavily into superheroes and comic books) I was thrilled to come across Geek Actually. This particular story is part one in a 13-part serial, that focuses on a group of women who keep in touch via a group chat. There's video game programmer Taneesha, fantasy writer Aditi, cosplay fanatic Ellie and PA Christina. I have only read the first instalment on Netgalley, however WTF is a great first installment to a series by a group of talented writers including Cathy Yardley. This is a great, quick read especially aimed at nerdy ladies like yours truly (which I LOVE - please, more geeky reads!) and I'm looking forward to reading more.

This served as a good introduction for this group of lady geeks. I am definitely intrigued! I am a lady geek myself, so this serial speaks my language!

This was one of those books I randomly stumbled upon on Net Galley and had to read. While it was a short read, I'm still unsure of how I feel about it. On one hand, it's great to see a story focused on so many different types of female characters. However, it also felt like a story that should have been expanded to novel length rather than a serial series

With that said, this first episode did wonderfully capture what it's like for females in geek industries. Having worked as an EIC on a geek site for two years, and now working as a freelance writer on another, I know how difficult it can be to be accepted by males in the industry and the story managed to capture the unpleasant confrontations that tend to happen from time to time. (Seriously, I had plenty of Michelle moments as an editor; and I've had plenty of Aditi moments when it comes to writing.) Where the story fell short for me was in the romance aspect. The relationships were poorly constructed, and lacked any real background to make sense of the events that take place within this first episode.

I do plan to follow the series through though, as it looks to be a fun read, but I'm hoping for more character development going forward so I can actually come to care about these characters.

First installment in a new serial. It was setting up the characters, but it was fun. Super quick read. I am looking forward to getting to know them and how their lives play out.

As soon as I saw this book on Netgalley, I knew I had to read it as I too am a geek and proud of it. I am a book geek, a movie geek and love my superheroes and also am a big fan of what I call Geek Chic Lit. In Geek Actually, we meet four best friends who all one way or another fall into the geek world. We have Michelle who is a book publisher and her OTT geek loving boss Gwen , Aditi who is Michelle's friend and an author with her publishing company , Christina who is Michelle's sister and works as a PA on film sets around Hollywood , Taneesha who works as a Game coder and Elli who is flighty and dreams for cosplay and conventions. In WTF, Elli and Taneesha are going through career changes and Michelle and Aditi butt heads. I found that this book focused more on Elli - now that she has earned enough money for her next convention and cosplay outfit - it's sayonara to the coffee shop. Taneesha's gaming company has just been brought out by a major mogul, and she has been asked to come on board, but of course, it looks like she is there to be a glorified staff member. Michelle and Aditi are going through their trials and tribulations from moving out husbands, cheating and deadlines looming. I found Geek quite a fast read and enjoyable as I could relate to some of what the characters are going through. I am looking forward to reading more of Geek Actually as it is released as currently I only have access to the first three episodes. Geek Actually - perfect for the inner geek in all of us.

I really thought these books would be right up my alley, but I just didn't care for them. Not sure if it was the switching between characters, or the voices in general, but I just couldn't really get into them. I found myself bored.

So up to date with technology. You feel like you are reading someone's Facebook updates.. A fast read that is fresh, clever and fun.

It cost me a lot of effort to get through the first 70% of this episode. I only kept reading because I’m no quitter. Well, I am –sometimes- but this was so short that I wasn’t going to let it beat me. To me, the first ¾ and the last ¼ were two different books. The first half was dull, the next quarter was mildly interesting and the last quarter hooked me and now I’m considering reading the next episode. It does have a lot of potential, but the writing seemed too plain, high school plain, and it took me way too long to get into it. Some of the character storylines make me want to carry on reading, I’d love to read a book entirely about their stories, but I don’t even remember the details of the rest (and I’ve only finished reading it half an hour ago). I really don’t know if the interest I have on some of the characters will make me pick up the next episode, really. I had high hopes for this one, but it fell short. Having said that, it’s extremely refreshing to find literature that’s unapologetically feminist and has such a diverse cast of characters. That tilts the scales towards picking up the next one, especially to find out what’s the deal with Aditi and what happens with Taneesha. What the heck! Expect my review of the second instalment.

A very quick read without a lot of activity or promise of improvement in the following episodes.

This was a pretty fun little short story, although it's not the kind of thing I usually read. Seriously, I never read anything that isn't straight up scifi/fantasy or at least magical realism, I don't even really have a goodreads shelf to put this on. I loved how real the characters felt, a very diverse cast of women dealing with problems every geeky girl can relate to. I was kind of worried because NetGalley had it under the erotica category, but there is only one sex scene in the last chapter [a few pages long] and you can easily skip past it [I kind of skimmed]. Just make sure you read the very last page-ish after the sex scene. Overall I'm not crazy about the serial publication style but I might try a few more of these.

The descriptions didn't endear this to me. I do not like Sex and the City. I do not, despite being into lots of geeky things, like geek fiction. But this? Is adorable. I loved all of the characters and wish they were real so we could hang out.Sometimes it feels a little issues-y, like the authors had to cram in every hot-button topic currently on Twitter, but to be honest I like a bit of that in my fiction, as that is what I discuss with my friends, so it made the characters seem more real. I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series.

In awe of how perfectly suited this novella fit with my intersectional feminist consciousness, along with exceptional character development and a witty sense of humour, to boot!
