This book has so many of my favourite things; based on a fairytale, message mix ups, and found family. I really love wrong number text tropes and this is a great version of that. The characters are cute and I enjoyed the banter. I wasn’t sure how I would like the setting but it worked really well and the elements of belonging that layers into the story is really lovely.

Geekerella appealed to my geeky, fandom loving and romantic heart heart. I enjoyed the characters (with the exception of Catherine, Chloe and Mark). I loved the friendship and support that Elle received from Sage and Darien had in Gail and Lonny (the sweet cinnamon roll he is).
Comments regarding Audible edition: I found the beginning a little slow (it may not have been so had I read it) and a handful of odd repeats of sentences (issues with the production that others complained of also).

This was so adorable and fun! I needed something completely fluff after coming off some intense reads. This was exactly what I needed. It had been awhile since I picked up a YA and I'm not mad about it. I had zero expectations so I enjoyed the read.
If you are part of any fandom this one will warm your heart. I have given my heart to several fandoms and to be part of a community that shares the same love is an entire experience. So I could relate to that aspect.
I love any and every Cinderella retelling I can get my hands on. All the cutesy movies and books, yes please. This was witty and nerdy and I simply adored it. Will continue to read more in the series.

This book was amazing! This retelling of Cinderella was spot on. The fairy godmother, pumpkin, prince charming, every thing about this was wow.
Each character was developed in a wonderful way. It was beautiful how Darien and Elle met and agh so beautiful
Perfect for fangirls/guys and for fans of the Lunar Chronicles series and the movie Starstruck.

I heard someone say that this book is a love letter to fandom, and I could't agree more, it's one of those books that make you proud of being a geek. Elle her story made my laugh, cry and scream of joy. This book is about love, about being yourself, about hope and about things that are possible in our impossible universe...

This was a very fun retelling. My favorite part was the fandom aspect. I can definitely relate to having major love and devotion to a TV series.

I had so much fun reading this this book. I loved the spin on the cinderella story. I have to say, it reminded me a little bit of Another Cinderella Story with Hilary Duff. The ballroom scene was my favorite, of course. I loved the characters. I feel like there was something missing from the story.. I just can’t put my finger on it.

Surprisingly good for a YA book that I wouldn’t normally have picked. Honestly, the only reason I read it was because it was one of the three books my book club picked. The step mother pissed me off a time or two (also if Elle’s name is on the will for the house..like hell Catherine can sell that house!). Overall not a bad read!
