An enchanting YA romance from the New York Times best-selling author of The Dead Romantics.

Cinderella goes to the con in this fandom-fueled twist on the classic fairy tale romance.

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. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi 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’s ever wanted, but the 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. Liebesromane Literatur & Belletristik

As the name already tells, it's a new take on the story of Cinderella. I really liked the story because I personally could relate to it a lot. It's a story about following your passion and believing in yourself. And all settled in the world of sifi, conventions and fandom's. It's well written even if it has some parts where the story ist dragged into length a bit. And sometimes you just want to push the main character and tell her to grow some balls :D I liked that the book was read from two different persons, even if sometimes they repeated some sentences, which felt like a second try didn't get but out. But all in all it's a great story and a good performance :)

A cute story about how everything is possible

I liked it. Ella got on my nerves sometimes with her winning and leak of taking action, control. She just wouldn't stand up for herself and what she wanted.
But still it was entertaining, cute, fluffy and really funny on times.

Die Geschichte ist niedlich, eben Cinderella als Nerd-Hommage. Da ich selber Kostüme gemacht habe und noch zu Conventions gehe, hat mir das sehr gut gefallen. Die Geschichte stockt hier und da ein bisschen, aber hat dafür andere starke Stellen. Süß auf jeden Fall, würde es weiterempfehlen. Aber das Hörbuch selber braucht mal eine kleine Korrektur, da ich an mindestens 4 Stellen wiederholte Sätze gehört habe. Also verschiedene Takes, weil man sich versprochen hat oder eine Variation wollte, sowas wird ja normalerweise rausgeschnitten. War eigentlich ganz lustig, aber so soll es ja nicht sein ;)

Simple, süße Geschichte, Hörbuch braucht Korrektur
