Geekerella : A Fangirl Fairy Tale

Bok av Ashley Poston
Cinderella goes to the con in this fandom-fueled twist on the classic fairy tale romancenow with a special Starfield bonus scene! Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy talefor anyone who believes in the magic of fandom. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathesStarfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watchingwith her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a newStarfieldmovie, she has toenter. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball, and a meet-and-greet withthe actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. With savings from hergig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck (and her dad's old costume), Elle's determined to winunless her stepsisters get there first. Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for consbefore he was famous. Now they're nothingbut autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Carmindor is all he's ever wanted, buttheStarfieldfandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon drawsnear, Darien feels more and more like a fakeuntil he meets a girl who shows him otherwise.
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.
