I realize this book has been out for a while, but I recently came across it and felt like it was such a gem I absolutely had to write about it.
Definitely the same kind of energy as Fangirl, Geekerella is a delightful love letter to fandom. It’s witty and heartfelt, and makes you care so much about the characters that you almost can’t stand it when they face hard times.
Honestly my favorite thing about this book was that it is unabashedly cheesy. The love story is swoony and dramatic and packed with emotion, and it feels exactly as heightened as I remember first love feeling as a teen. Whether you’re the same age as the characters and seeing yourself reflected in the immediacy of their journeys, or an adult reading and remembering the dizzy years of your youth, this book is sure to sweep you off your feet.
Also it has a lesbian fairy godmother character. Just. Amazing. I need an entire spin-off of her adventures.
Happy reading!
