Geekerella | Ashley Poston
Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball, and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. With savings from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck (and her dads old costume), Elles determined to winunless her stepsisters get there first. Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for consbefore he was famous. Now theyre nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Carmindor is all hes ever wanted, but Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fakeuntil he meets a girl who shows him otherwise. But when she disappears at midnight, will he ever be able to find her again? Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom.

He bends close, despite the crowds, despite the cameras, despite Franco‘s nose-diving into his suit pocket where he‘s probably keeping a snack, and kisses me. Around us, the flashes flare like the thrusters of the good ship Prospero, sending my heart rocketing into the farthest reaches of this impossible universe.

Elle works in the Magic Pumpkin vegan food truck and runs a blog about Starfield, her favorite sci-fi TV show. She has the requisite evil stepmom and stepsisters to contend with, as well as a profound loneliness from having no friends.

The stepmonster is at it again.
Raffles, discount coupons, and magazine sweepstakes lay strewn across the kitchen table. My stepmom sits straight-backed in one of the creaky wooden chairs, delicately cutting out another coupon, dyed blonde hair piled on top of her head in perfect ringlets, lipstick the color of men‘s heartblood.

I'm thoroughly enjoying a nerdy romance while getting some stitching done with my furry buddy. Ashley Poston is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. Her stories are just fun and have excellent sweet moments.

🎧 I loved this story, it‘s so cute. Very Cinderella-ish in a geeky Comic-Con-y kinda way.

Elle, Sage, Cap & Darien were a great ensemble cast of characters.

Chloe & Catherine (evil step sister & step mother) were the perfect villains.

Entertaining fluff read!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3

This might not be the best start into the new reading month, but all my other books are great so far 😁 But since I left the challenge I chose this book for, I'm more than happy to DNF this one. I might would've enjoyed it back when I was 14, but now? No, thank you, not my cup of tea... 😅

Another great retelling, I‘ve read. A must read for anyone who feels a little nerdy. It‘s full of fandom references. It‘s equal parts nerdy and romantic. It‘s something you can read over and over again and never get tired of it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Retellings aren‘t usually my thing, but this sounded so fun. I mean, instead of a prince, there‘s a hot sci-fi actor. Instead of a royal ball, there‘s cosplay. The pumpkin is a freaking vegan food truck! 😂 Danielle, AKA Elle, shared a “Starfield” obsession with her late parents. Now, there‘s a reboot starring some washboard-abbed teen actor, over whom all the girls swoon, but Elle is not impressed .... yet. Super cute, clever, and geeky.

This was a cute rom com. Elle was sweet and spunky, although I really liked her sidekick, Sage. And the chapters from Darien‘s point of view were my favorite. The stepmother was over the top, but overall, a quick and fun Cinderella retelling.

Looking for a quick feel-good read that is filled with geekiness? Then Geekerella is the book for you! The princess is from the show Starfield, the magic pumpkin is a vegan food truck and the ball is the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball. This book spoke to my inner geek! I loved every cheesy line the characters dropped. #youngadult

This was between a pick and a so-so. I really enjoyed the relationship between the characters and the author did a great job incorporating Cinderella. But I didn't enjoy it as much as other YA contemporaries I've read lately. I'm not sure if I'll read the rest of the series.

I didn‘t love this, love this, but then I always have some issues with the sheer meanness of the evil stepmother in Cinderella stories. But by the end I was mostly won over so I‘ll be generous and go for a pick rating. Plus it has a dachshund.

zezeki This was one of my last reads of 2019, and I loved it very much, even though I'm not a big fan of romance genre. I think I just read at the right time. 🙂 5y
Verity @zezeki i can see how it would take you like that. I think I‘m still on the come down from Love Lettering and it‘s hard for stuff to match that! 5y

I've been in a fantasy mood lately! This book was so cute! I cant say it was different than any other books/movies that have been based off of Cinderella. But when you pick up a book based off of Cinderella, you pretty much know that already. It was so cute and had my heart fluttering! You definently cheer her on through the whole book and fall in love with El & Dariens love ❤ Quick, easy, and adorable read!

This book was amazingly adorable that adds a modern/futuristic spin on the classic tale of Cinderella. I came across this book while strolling through Indigo in Windsor, and after a while of deciding if I wanted it or not; I bought the book offline; and I gotta say I am not disappointed at all! 📖📖📖📖📖 If you like the classic tale then you'll appreciate this awesome twist!
