About this listen

Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic science-fiction 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 has 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.

Overall, it was a nice take on a classic story. The split perspective worked well and the con setting was very endearing. Darien’s parts had some lack of editing with multiple lines being repeated twice - presumably with the intent to only leave in one of the takes. It was a minor issue though, very easy listen otherwise

I'll be honest, I started this Audo to listen with my little one. I ended up listening to the entire thing on my own! Awesome voices and the story line had me guessing who the villain may be! 10/10 recommend

surprisingly awesome

I loved this book! Fairytale meets Sci-fi pop culture, with some name drops of big starts thrown in helps to really immerse yourself in the story, leaving you to feel like it's happening right now.
like a good old fairytale the bathroom scene made me cry. Not sure if we got our happily ever after or not but I guess it leaves it open for another adventure?
Was disappointed that Elle took her dog on the red carpet, felt a bit pretentious of her, not sure that that fit with her character?
I marked the performance of this book down a star because it was a bit glitchy where some of Dorian's lines would be repeated over.

The first time my partner couldn't stop listening to a romantic novel with me. He (and I) loved all the nerdy references. Very fun.

So nerdy

What made the experience of listening to Geekerella the most enjoyable?

The perspectives and the two actors were phenomenal, I really enjoyed the change of pace present in each new chapter

What other book might you compare Geekerella to, and why?

Unenchanted by Chanda Hahnn is similar with the strong sassy female lead who may not necessarily understand everything but still powers forward.

Which character – as performed by Eileen Stevens and Tristan Morris – was your favourite?

Sage was so sassy and I really appreciated the LGBT+ representation

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I tried to listen to this in one hit but i fell asleep, I just NEEDED to know what happened

I am a massive fan of the Cinderella stories and variations of this. This is just another fabulous version. If you love fairytale retelling then this is for you.
This reminds me in parts of the movie a Cinderella story with a twist of adding distance, movie star and fandom of a TV series.
it's a great listen and would highly recommend.

absolutely great listen/read

Enjoyed this light-hearted read. Has all the beats you expect but you enjoy the ride anyway. That narrators were both excellent. Whenever Eileen Stevens exclaimed "Danielle!" as the evil step mother I could have died from cringing. Perfect. There was, however, some issues with the recording where lines were repeated multiple times. Other than that, loved this nerdy retelling of this classic.

Fun listen

This is so much fun, impossible dreams, impossible love, in an impossible universe.
Went straight into get next book.

So much fun

Overall the story was entertaining with the easy rhythm of a well known story. The new world it is based in is well thought out.

Performance is good. There are a few errors where lines are repeated. But the two narrators help build the two sided story lines

Fun spin on a classic tale
