"Geekerella" by Ashley Poston

I don't know about you, but I love reading and watching movie adaptation of Cinderella retellings. Come to think of it, a lot of classics and modern fiction that I enjoy are? at the heart of it, Cinderella type-stories. Just think of Jane Eyre and Price and Prejudice - two of my all time favorite classics - both include stories of poor girls getting their proverbial prince charming.

Getting back to the point of this review, Geekerella is a fun modern take on the age-old story. The plot revolves around a fandom (rather than a kingdom), and our main character Danielle, or simply Elle, is a blogger and a life-long fan of the Starfield TV series. She is an orphan living with her stepmother and twin stepsisters in Charleston, NC. On the prince charming side, we have Darien, a teen TV star, who has just been cast for the lead male role in a new movie adaption of Starfield - a choice die-hard fan like Elle do not support from the get go.

And so their story begins: an unlikely friendship growing into more between two lonely souls, unexpected friendships and hateful enemies, and through it all, an underlying ode of love to fandoms and everything that comes with being a fan. I greatly enjoyed this book. 5 out of 5 stars.
