GEEKERELLA is a Cinderella retelling, and it's creative. Ashley Poston knows how to craft characters because they all stuck out to me, even some of the unnamed cosplayers. I loved having the dual POV and getting inside both Elle and Darien's heads. And Sage? Sage was a delight. The writing is quick and clever, and this book is loaded with nerdy references. I'm sure I missed like half of them, but my heart beat a little faster with every nod to geek culture I spotted. Poston's clearly a fan. She's been there and is in love with geek culture and I am living for it.
This is a book I would read again, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of their local comic con, or is active in fandoms, or honestly anyone who like a good YA contemporary romance. It's great as a retelling, it made me smile, and I loved it.
