Once Upon a Con, #1

Geekerella

Bok av Ashley Poston
Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic science-fiction series she grew up watching with her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. With savings from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck and her dad's old costume, Elle's determined to win-unless her stepsisters get there first.Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons-before he was famous. Now they're nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Carmindor is all he has ever wanted, but Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake-until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise. But when she disappears at midnight, will he ever be able to find her again?Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom.
Jag gillade den här boken som är en retelling på Askungen. Den handlar om Elle och Darien. En riktigt mysig bok att läsa och det var kul att se utvecklingen av ena styvsystern Cal som skiljer sig lite från Askungens styvsystrar. En modern askungesaga som hyllar det nördiga, vad mer kan man begära? Det är dessutom lite hate to love mellan Elle och Darien, vilket inte är helt fel. Jag tycker att boken delvis påminner om filmen A Cinderella Story med Hilary Duff, så om du gillade den filmen så kommer du att gilla den här boken.
