I adore nerd romances, and Love, Technically was no exception! It all starts with a printer problem. Noah comes to Michele’s rescue, and she mistakes him for a geek from the company’s help desk. Noah doesn’t mean to lie about his identity, but he was happy to finally meet a woman who likes him for him, rather than for his bank account, as he’s really CEO of the company. From there it’s a classic tale of mistaken identity and the drama that follows a relationship based on lies, even if those lies are unintentional or well-meaning.
While the romance is the focus, I also really enjoyed the other plot of Michele trying to get her bearings in a new city, and Noah wanting to go forward with an innovative new idea. The theme of pursuing your dreams and doing what makes you happy is quite prevalent in this novella. I also really appreciated the author writing about someone slightly older heading into the adult world on their own for the first time, and then deciding to go to college. At 25 years old, Michele is getting her first real job, moving out on her own, and starting a relationship. I could definitely identify with her, even though I did go to college first, but I’m still new to the workforce and trying to navigate an adult life at 23. Everyone goes about life at their own pace, so I really liked this addition.
Love, Technically was a very quick, sweet, and enjoyable novella. It was very fun, and I loved the nerdy jokes sprinkled throughout. Noah is adorable and it was nice to see such a down-to-earth love interest, especially since he is a multi-billionaire. Michele was a nice and relatable heroine, and I liked how she had a good head on her shoulders. She’s faced with several new situations and conflicts, but she handles each of them with dignity. Readers looking for a short, feel good romance should definitely give Love, Technically a try!
