Geekerella by Ashley Poston
5.0
Readability: 5/5
Plot: 5/5
Recommend: Yes
Geekerella is centered around Danielle Wittimer and Darien Freeman as they watch and participate in the reboot of one of their favorite series, Starfield. As Danielle, or Elle, follows her fangirl dream and enters a cosplay contest at ExcelsiCon. Darien finds himself less than thrilled to have to attend a convention where everyone thinks he's nothing but a pretty face.
I only read this book because I won a giveaway for the second book. I am a sucker for fairytale retellings, and I was silently chastising myself for taking 30 pages to realize this was a retelling. As I am writing this review, I now see all of the parallels to the original (I love this feeling).
Geekerella details the romance between Elle and Darien, but it also covers fan culture. I gave this book five stars because it's captivating and the love story was good (to me). I love fairytale retellings and I love romances. I have to say these things do make me a little (maybe a lot) biased, but hey, we are all different readers. So if you really want to know if you should read this book, just pick it up and try it out.
