Geekerella by Ashley Poston
5.0
SO GOOD, REVIEW TO COME
------------
Hands down one of the best books I've ever read! Between Geekerella, Eliza And Her Monsters, and Fangirl, I have never felt so accepted. When taking on a retelling of Cinderella, in order to grab the consumer's interest, it really has to be a unique take on the story. Geekerella was more than unique! I loved the diversity in this, I loved the double perspectives, and I loved the inclusivity of fandom. There were just enough changes to this Cinderella story for it to not be just the typical Cinderella story, and the addition of fandom really helped that case. I'm not even sure if I'm making sense because I loved it SO SO MUCH that it's hard to put into words my thoughts. I kept squealing while reading this book because it gave me all the feels and I read for hours straight yesterday.
TLDR:
- hella diverse
- unique take on Cinderella
- fandom, makes me feel included
- very in with the times and on point with 2017
- I could not put this book down
- there's even a dog
PLEASE READ GEEKERELLA.
