Geekerella Review

Geekerella by Ashley Poston – 5/5⭐️s

Synopsis

Elle is your typical fan girl, obsessed with the original cast and run of her favourite tv show Starfield. Starfield was the thing her and her dad were engrossed by, but that was before he died and left her living with her evil stepmother and her oh so perfect daughters.

Just when Elle thinks nothing can get worse Starfield is being turned into a movie and the newest teen heartthrob is being turned into Federation Prince Carmindor.

Elle is determined to enter a contest at a convention, win and then leave her awful. life behind (and maybe tell Darien Freeman what she thinks of him ruining Starfield while she is at it).

This is all before she receives a text from an unknown number that could change her mind.

This book was everything I needed it to be and more! With exam season here I needed a book that I was going to be able to read in one sitting – if I hadn’t had to do some revision I would have! I loved all the nerdy reference and the idea that Elle was just like us, she had a blog, she was obsessed over a TV show. It was just perfect.

Surprisingly in places this book was emotional and held so much more than just your typical summer contemporary.
Furthermore, this book didn’t just have an amazing plot but one of the main characters is   a POC and it contains – briefly (like at the end) – a female female relationship, the characters were lovable and quirky.  If you needed convincing any further there is a very cute dog involved 😉

Okay I can see how people would critique the book “it would never really happen like that” or ” the romance was so not real” but I honestly think this is the perfect summer read where you don’t really mind that kind of thing. Also everyone can dream that this would really happen to them can’t they?

“Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite.”

I would love to know if you have read Geekerella and what you thought of it, or it you are planning on reading it.
