I've been in fandoms my entire life, I've been reading fan fiction my entire life, I've had OTPs I would die for my entire life, I've been making GIFs for my favorite shows for Tumblr my entire life. From Harry Potter to Star Wars to Doctor Who to Marvel to Lord of the Rings. I don't remember myself not being a geek. After a while she finds out about a contest centering the new film reboot of "Starfield" and she has to enter but at what cost? She lives with her evil stepmother (stepMOnster) and her stepsisters who bully her into existence. This book is a Cinderella retelling (but could stand out as its own book without the Cinderella influence) about a girl named Ella and her passion for a tv show called "Starfield" (which mostly reminds me of Star Trek and I love that) that she shared with her late father. No offense to non-geek people but this is a little something for us forever-and-ever geeks. NO ONE WHO ISN'T A GEEK CAN APPRECIATE THIS BOOK THE RIGHT WAY I'M TELLING YOU. It's perfect and relatable and amazing and funny and spectacular and everything I need from a book. There's no flaw about it! Hence the 5 star rating. GUYS THIS BOOK THIS BOOK! I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW OF THE FEELS AND I NEVER CRY BECAUSE OF BOOKS! NEVER! Because in the end we're all just a bunch of weirdos standing in front of other weirdos, asking for their username.” Because if you love it? If that OTP or children's card game or abridged series or YA book or animated series makes you happy? “Never give up on your dreams, and never let anyone tell you that what you love is inconsequential or useless or a waste of time. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake-until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise. Playing Carmindor is all he’s ever wanted, but the Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. Now they’re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets.
Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons-before he was famous. 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. 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. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter.
Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father. 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. Cinderella goes to the con in this fandom-fueled twist on the classic fairy tale.
