Description
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 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. But when she disappears at midnight, will he ever be able to find her again? 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.

With geekily adorable characters, a show that s part Star Trek and part Firefly, a cosplay contest, and a food truck fairy godmother, this is a love letter to fandom. Required reading for geeks everywhere. Booklist
A celebration of fandom and happily ever afters, this feel-good reimagining hits all the right notes. Publishers Weekly
Geekerella couldn't be sweeter or more fun . If you're a fan of Fangirl, or a fan yourself, this is the version of Cinderella for you. New York Journal of Books
Geekerella hits the spot. It s an uplifting, adorable take on a classic fairy tale with a lovable heroine and a story that would have delighted 12-year-old me, but actually did manage to elate jaded, cynical adult me. Ashley Poston gets my stamp of approval on this Cinderella story. Geeks of Doom
Heirloom cosplay, fairy godfriends, and a new fandom with the swooniest OTP. Equal parts Fangirl and This Is What Happy Looks Like, Geekerella is so. Frakking. Good. Lily Anderson, author of The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You
I've never had this much fun reading a fairytale retelling! Geekerella is hilarious, packed with emotional punches, and steeped in so much love for fandom and con culture. We've all known the Cinderella story since preschool, but Ashley Poston's version feels so fresh and real that I genuinely worried Elle might not make it to the ball. Alison Cherry, author of Look Both Ways and For Real
Fun, funny, and fan-tastic! I rooted for Elle and Darien from page one. Sarah Ahiers, author of Assassin s Heart and Thief s Cunning
Adorkable, geektastic, nerderiffic however you describe it, Geekerella is scrumptious! Ashley Poston s fandom is one you ll definitely want to join. Tiffany Schmidt, author of Break Me Like A Promise and Bright Before Sunrise
An utterly charming take on Cinderella that sparkles with witty banter, Geekerella is the perfect YA fandom fairytale. Dahlia Adler, author of Behind the Scenes and Just Visiting
