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.
Cover Review:
The cover is cute as a bunny and I absolutely love it!
Book Review:
As you probably already guessed, the story is at a girl who is a Geek + Cinderella. But it's not just that.
The reason why I absolutely loved Geekerella was because it was so realistic.
The way Elle loves the Starfield fandom so much? That was totally relatable because being a reader, I know exactly how she feels!
Geekerella is every BookWorm's, every Bibliophile's, every Geek's dream novel. It is US.
And it's so effing sweet. There's a lot of heartache, but there are beautiful moments too.
The characters, most prominently Elle, Darien and Sage are each in their own way, perfect. And together, they created one of the best retellings I've ever read.
And with this absolutely awesome book, and this review, I hereby conclude with the last review of the year 2017.
And for 2018, as Carmindor says, "Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!"
