3.5 stars.AWWW this was cute (it was SO CHEESY, tho). And I didn't believe the "falling in love" part, but I'll explain that in my wrap up :).
So. Much. Fun. This super cute Cinderella-goes-to-Geeky-Con story is probably closer to a 3.5 in terms of merit because I think it could have been even better (view spoiler)[ pretty much all the adults are terrible, the emotional beats could have been stronger, and a major issue with sticking so closely to your source material is that it becomes fairly predictable. Its sparks back to life once Elle arrives at the Con, though (hide spoiler)], but it is such a cute and enjoyable read, it gets roun...
ARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.This was so surprisingly delightful, and made me so unexpectedly emotional. Everyone knows the story of Cinderella, but this modern day retelling feels and was actually able to evoke quite the feelings from me. This is a heartwarming story and if you consider yourself nerdy whatsoever, don't let this book pass you by. I obviously feel confident saying I'm a pretty geeky individual: ➽ Video Games? I've been raiding for o...
“We’re all geeks here” A love story most unlikely, a friendship most unexpected and a story inevitably beautiful. The horrors of being tied to a stepmom who hates you. The shackles that come along with fame. The tug of the familiar, the nervousness of taking risks. I can't help but fall in love with dreams.In this book we follow two characters, Danielle Wittimer who is the biggest fan of the Starfield series and grew up with it, and Darien a teen actor who just scored the lead role in the rem
A fun Cinderella retelling. It’s geeky and current. I liked the twists and how the familiar elements were wittingly spun into a contemporary Cinderella story. The sci-fi bits and the cos-play were a lot of fun although at some point, the plot kind of dragged a bit for me but it was still a generally enjoyable read.
Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite. Elle Wittimer loves, loves, loves Starfield - it has all the best elements of all the best fandoms. Her late mother and father both loved it, and her father was the man behind the convention for Starfield.Currently, Elle lives with her Step-mom and twin step-siblings and to put it frank, they're making her life a living hell. Then, she sees the announcement for Starfield's reboot as a movie series plus a costume contest at this year's ExcelsiCon, and she knows s
Buddy read with Skam trashYou would THINK that a book with an adorably epic cover, relatable geek plot, and is a retelling of a v famous story would STEAL my heart and win me over instantly. . .. . . but you didn’t consider this book.

5/5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ “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. 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?That is never a waste of time. Because in the end we're all just a bunch of weirdos standing in front of other weirdos, asking for their username.” ― Ashley Poston, Geekerella GUYS THIS BOOK THIS BOOK! I'M CRYING RIGHT N...
UPDATE: $1.99 Kindle US 4/4/19How sweet was this =) ♥When I first started reading the book I wasn't so sure and then it started to get to me. It was a sweet little book about a fandom, some sweet friends, and a retelling of sorts. Elle lives with her jerk of a stepmother and her two daughters. Elle and her father (when he was alive) were big fans of the show, Starfield. They were geek fans together. I love that. But living with the horrible stepmother is not the greatest thing now that Elle's fa...
