Geekerella by Ashley Poston
5.0
I was a little apprehensive at first when I saw the cover but this teaches me a lesson to not judge a book by its cover because, my gosh, this book was sooooooo good!
Even though yes the book is predictable, because the title, it is a modern day version of Cinderella. This still didn’t stop me being so emotionally invested in these characters.
For me it was fast paced and a quick read which is just what I needed after being in a little bit of a slump recently.
Elle is the main character who lost her Mum and Dad young, and now lives with her ‘step-monster’ and twin stepsisters. She is a huge fan of a Sci-fi show called ‘Starfield’, a passion she and her Dad used to share.
It is a story about friendship, romance, and fandom. I thought it was so sweet and the nerd inside me loved this book to pieces.
The only part I wasn’t so sure about was the relationship between Elle and Darien. It was a little unrealistic how fast they fell for each other in such a small amount of time, but on the other hand it isn’t a long story so I get how things had to move along quite fast.
As I was sent this as an e-book I noticed that paragraphs were beginning in random places and it was abit stop-and-starty. I’m not sure if this was because of the format, but it didn’t effect me too much.
Overall I’m so glad I read this little gem, it really does teach that you should never judge anyone by first appearances and give everybody a chance as you may be surprised!
Will be reading more by this Author in the future.
