A Geek Girl’s Guide to Justice<\/a><\/em> (2016) Julie Anne Lindsey<\/a><\/p>\n

\"a-geek-girl-s-guide-to-justice-1\"<\/a>The third book in the Geek Girl Mysteries finds Mia trying to handle being CIO for her grandmother’s company, co-owner of her favorite game, head of IT for Horseshoe Falls, and organizer of her sister’s baby shower.<\/p>\n

Then two problems hit: a friend of her grandmother’s calls out of the blue, and is soon after found dead in the local pond and her grandmother wants to know what happened. Then the mesh Wi-Fi Mia is rolling out to the community has problems, and she’s expected to deal with it.<\/p>\n

Along with everything else.<\/p>\n

Plus trying to go on a date with Jake, the guy she’s been sort of dating for months.<\/p>\n

I really liked this story, and I love Mia.<\/p>\n

Why did I do bizarre things? It was as if my body and mouth were sometimes disconnected from my brain.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even if I’m probably Fifi.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreathe, Mia.\u201d Fifi pushed onto her feet and headed my way. \u201cWhat are you most comfortable wearing?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cPajamas.\u201d <\/p>\n

She traded the pedal pushers in my left hand for a pair of white cuffed and pleated shorts. \u201cLies.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the parts I particularly liked was the day-to-day sexism that Mia dealt with. It’s not that they make an issue of it, it’s just the way things are, like the low-grade background noise any woman in tech has to deal with.<\/p>\n

It made it particularly real.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you come with the right equipment? I told you what I thought had happened when I called.\u201d <\/p>\n

He smirked. \u201cMost times we follow up on a call like this, the system\u2019s unplugged or in need of a reboot.\u201d <\/p>\n

Of course he\u2019d assumed I didn\u2019t know what I was talking about. I was a woman. I couldn\u2019t turn it off and back on again without his help.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although to anyone female working in technology, that final paragraph was unnecessary. We know precisely what’s happening.<\/p>\n

I also appreciated that although Nick was one of her best friends and listened to her, even he had the blind-spots guys have.<\/p>\n

I scraped away the tiny decals on my pinky nails. \u201cYou have no idea how complicated it is to be a woman.\u201d <\/p>\n

His patronizing face proved my point. \u201cIt must be really hard to be so smart, rich and adorable. I\u2019ll bet people mistreat you all the time.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to mistreat you in a minute.\u201d <\/p>\n

The man in front of us coughed to cover a laugh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It doesn’t make him less kind of less lovable, it’s just the way things are.<\/p>\n

I also was fascinated by Mia, and what did and did not pique her interest. For instance, Fifi ends up being one of her best friends, but she has little curiosity as to how she ended up temping and working for her, or about her pretty amazing educational history.<\/p>\n

The mystery is fine. As expected, Mia sticks her nose into everything and ends up in danger, which is ridiculous, but I’m willing to let that slide, because it’s such a sweet story, I really adored it.<\/p>\n
