Holy moly. This book was so extremely adorable from start to finish. I love the way the author incorporated iconic scenes from Cinderella into this book while adding such a new and amazing flair. Everything about Geekerella is so homey. Elle is such a beautiful character and I love the way she was written and I loved getting to know her so extremely much. And Darien. Oh my goodness. I loved getting to see fan perspective vs actor perspective. I think it’s interesting to think about how celebrities actually feel about their day to days. I’m so happy that Darien stood up for himself by the end. And I love that Cal and Sage came together <3 I loved everything about this book!

I absolutely loved this!!! An adorable retelling that captures the heart of all hard core nerds alike. Not only did Ashley Poston have me wanting to read the next page of this nerdy love story, she also created a fictional show that added a phenomenal angle of joy to this whole story!
If nothing else readers can passionately enjoy a retelling that hits all the tropes and is done to a spectacular level.

Love this!!!!

This is a contemporary adaptation of "Cinderella" combined with cosplaying (extreme costuming) and conventions, with a dash of movie fangirling added in to spice it up.

If you like Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl and fairytale adaptations, you might enjoy this!
