Geeky Edward Cullen is dumped by his high school sweetheart and finds himself alone... in a parking lot... with an engagement ring in his pocket. He immediately falls into depression, believing that no one will ever want him. He is ready to spent the rest of his life alone, when fate makes him cross paths with a very unique looking girl - bright colored wigs, wacky outfits and no verbal filter, that is Bella Swan for you. It is love at first broken nose, at least in Edward's case. They start off their friendship as he tutors Bella for her Calculus II class and as token of her appreciation, she agrees to help Edward find his balls, figuratively speaking. It is during a fun afternoon that they somehow get caught up pretending to be a couple. News travels fast - way too fast - and soon family is involved. Before Edward can even stop it, his whole family believes that he is finally over his ex and in love with a better and nicer girl. Edward, trying to avoid looking pathetic at his parents' New Years celebration by not showing up with his "new girlfriend", enlists the help of beautiful and mysterious Bella to pose as the latter. They both go to meet Edward's family under the pretense of being a couple, but soon their feelings become real and love blossoms under the lie. Unfortunately, they have the worst of luck and many situations have them digging a hole that, they soon realize, they won't be able to get out without hurting someone or themselves...

Honestly, when we read that title, we expected a very emotional and angst filled story, but this was a very pleasant surprise! The story takes you through the lives of Geeky Edward and Wacky Bella, their ups and downs, their pasts, their presents and how they discover their feelings for each other. The fanfiction is told from both of their points of view; including chapters told by Mama Bear Esme and the Best Bitch Victoria (Bella's BFF), who, by the way, we believe kinda stole the show. We really loved this Victoria, and even more so when James showed up. That was a game of cat and mouse that had us in stitches! The story is really funny, so we suggest you stay away from food and drinks while reading... and also avoid libraries for that matter *Mel blushes*. However, not everything is sugar and rainbows: Bella's life hasn't been easy and her family isn't very likable. It doesn't matter how fabulous Renee or how fuckable Charlie are, they are both neglectful and throw money at everything when Bella only wants to be loved. And here's where Geeky Edward comes to the rescue of his Fairy Princess. But like in every fairytale, this story will end with a happily ever after, and a little dose of karma. Misunderstandings, wacky family members, richy-rich style parties and hilarity ensue as we follow the story of Prince Geekward and his magical Fairy Princess... oh, and her adorable dog Snooki! Get ready for this hilarious ride; it will be worth the stomach aches and the few tears.
