The dress, the slipper, even the pumpkin -- all the classic elements are there, effortlessly woven into the world of texting, blogs, and celebrity culture. Even the "wicked stepmother" and "evil stepsisters" make modern sense.Elle and Darien are both sympathetic protagonists with great narrative voice. Without that, I would not have stayed long enough to appreciate the true magic of "Geekerella." But that true and unique magic is how enthusiastically the story embraces the very-real-if-abstract importance of various TV and Movie-Verses to fan culture. We get enough details about "Starfield" to understand the world that brought Elle's parents together (buttressing the importance of the show to this orphan) and that is now bringing Elle and Darien together, but not so much that its world overwhelms the "real" one in which the protagonists are making their way and finding themselves. Instead, the SF world of "Starfield" is just... part of them, and sometimes the best part. Just as magically, through their fandom and Darien's acting job, they are part of "Starfield" as well. And isn't that every fan's dream?Most important, this is in the end a happy story about mostly good people, and it made me happy to read it (which I did in a day). 5 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An enjoyable retelling of a familiar story. *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2019* As is clear from the title, this book is a reimagining of Cinderella themed around geek culture. The two leads are almost TOO geeky, speaking and thinking in sci-fi references to the point where it almost - almost - feels overdone. However, this is much more noticeable in the early part of the novel, and once the story gets going it doesn't stick out as much. Also, as a geek who speaks and thinks in sci-fi references in real life, I can't say it doesn't ring true...While the story of Cinderella is a familiar one, Geekerella does enough things different that it doesn't feel "been there, done that." For one thing, we hear quite a bit from Darien, the Handsome Prince type, which goes a long way toward fleshing him out as a character rather than a two-dimensional cardboard cutout who exists mainly to look good and have the girl fall for him. In fact, I would say the characters are what this book does best - both Darien and Danielle feel fully realized, and it's easy to get a sense of their emotions, their personalities, and their very human flaws.Danielle's coworker Sage steps into the shoes of the Fairy Godmother, and, as a snarky, green-haired lesbian, is certainly a little something different in that role. She, the Evil Stepmother, the Stepsisters, and a few other secondary players also feel like actual people rather than stereotypes, even if one stepsister in particular is almost cartoonishly evil and doesn't get nearly enough comeuppance.I knocked off one star because there were more than a few grammatical errors throughout the work. It wasn't enough to really detract from my enjoyment of the story, but it was enough that I couldn't ignore it. This probably could've used one more trip to the editor before publication. Still, that's about the biggest criticism I have of the book, and I had a hard time putting it down, so it was clearly doing most everything else right.I'd recommend this, and I liked it enough that I'm probably going to check out Poston's sequel novel "The Princess and the Fangirl" at some point. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the star girls out there, this is the book for you!!! *by B***7 on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019* Even though I have heard that, old fairy tales are being retold, I have never in my life come across a real book that has been written in that way. As I mentioned earlier, there were so much hype on the blog-sphere, about this book, which made me want to read it. So I did and I am really glad.The story is about a young fan girl, the female protagonist of our story, Danielle. The story unfolds about Elle finding her true self and her true love. Since it is a modern-day retelling of the fairy tale, Cinderella, it has some similarities and differences. Elle does not represent the innocent, blond and perfect Cinderella. She is red-haired and her step sisters call her a weirdo.She is being treated at home the same way as in the fairy tale. She is constantly ill-treated and bullied by her step-mother and her step-sisters. Elle mourns for the death of her parents. Her only happiness is watching Starfeild, a sci-fi series, which will be soon made into a movie.Then we meet her friend Sage, who can be described as totally cool. Elle's life takes a turning point, after her friendship with Sage goes on to deeper point. When Sage gets to know everything about Elle, she is more than willing her to reach her dreams. I felt that because of Sage, Elle became strong. Sage taught her to stand-up for herself, and to accept her self for who she is.Darien Freeman, the male protagonist of the story, can be explained as the modern version of, prince Charming. Darien's character is described way more deeply in the re-telling than, in the original Cinderella story.The most interesting part of the story for me was, the text messages between Elle and Darien. It was super cute and added an extra pop of color to the whole picture. It was such a cute, funny and romantic story with a happily ever after ending, which we all look forward to.My Rating (4/5 Stars) Exceptional --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/47690019-geekerella-paperback-april-4-2017](https://www.desertcart.in/products/47690019-geekerella-paperback-april-4-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
