*I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

I will admit, the beginning of this book did not appeal to me. I was going through a reading funk (partial book slump) and I almost DNF'd it. Jessica is a hard character to like in the beginning and the harsh judgments and some of the actions everyone makes can seem aggravating. Give it a bit though, because there are reasons. Jess has been burned by the fandom, by geeks, and she is a female in a spotlight meaning she is a target for trolls and horrible people. When I picked this book up again when my book slump was mostly done, I was able to see more clearly the abuse she puts up with and I could understand her character more. Between Imogen and Jess, I was surprised that Jess became my favorite character.
I also liked her romance more and thought their was more natural build up. I won't go into it more, since I don't want to spoil it ;)

Imogen and her quick judgments though never really stopped. She judges Ethan, but never truly admits that she shouldn't have assumed that because he wore a suit he wouldn't be a geek. I think it is hard to remember that even though Mo and Jess look the same, Mo is 2 years (or maybe just 1?) younger than Jess and because of their circumstances she is also not as mature. When I remember this, it is easier to see that over the course of the book, she did grow. She's got the fandom heart we all know and love, so it is hard not to like her. Her romance though I never fully believed. I felt it beginning, I loved the sniping at each other, but I never felt it truly move over to more. I just needed a little more.

The story about the leaked script starts slow and does seem to drag. This book is much more about the characters and their experiences with the leaked script parts moving the story along once in a while.
Once I was about 40% into the book things started picking up, but I was really hooked at more 60% which may be too late for some readers.

Do I recommend it? If you liked Geekerella, I would recommend it, just so you can get more of the world and that feeling of connection to Starfield ( can we get a TV series of this yet???). If you live for cons, this book might also find a special spot in your heart.

It was very very cute as expected. Totally swoony and loved it. Absolutely worth it. Will strongly recommend.

**Review can be found at https://smadasbooksmack.blogspot.com/ **

I picked up Geekerella last year on a whim to read because I thought the cover looked cute, but I basically knew nothing about the book. Once I started reading (aka listening to the audiobook) I knew it was love and I ended up grabing a physical copy that same day so I could just finish reading the book that night. Who needs sleep when we can escape into the most fantastic of Fan-worlds? I enjoyed everything about the story, be it the cute Cinderella retelling spin Ashley used, the friendship and banter, but mostly because these are my people. After discovering Firefly (still need more please!), Doctor Who, Harry Potter and Supernatural, why wouldn't you want to have a giant gathering with people who understand? Cons and fandoms speak to me, the new realities and the ability to speak for hours about a completely made up world and speculate fictional character's choices as if you know them personally. Yep, these are my people and Ashley made this into such a realistic experience for me- and it didn't hurt that the romance was adorable. When I leaned fairly recently that there was going to be a second book set in the same world but with a Prince and Pauper retelling twist, I was ecstatic- another chance to geek out? Yes please.

"A stream of people follows Jess from one side of the convention to the other, trickling down into the street like the parade we saw earlier, and I can’t help but smile like mad— because although it isn’t a marching band, this is totally my new favorite trope. A bunch of nerds following a princess in a dress made of galaxies , like a freakin’ Mickey Mouse parade, singing the Starfield theme at the top of their lungs."

I will say though, I struggled with Jess for at least a chunk of the book. I saw her struggle to want to be seen as more, but her hating on fandoms and people who get excited about this world made me want to smack her. But the transition her character took was hands down the best I have experienced in a YA contemporary- maybe ever! She grew and evolved as a character and I loved her, she gave quirky Imogen a run for the money when it came to my love. I think also watching Imogen start to understand what made Jess act certain ways helped me to understand her as well.

There were a lot of things going on in this story, be it a career ending mystery, dealing with a Parent Trap level of switch, self doubt and haters, the intensity of everything happening over a 72 hour time line, the madness of the con- and romances. Both characters had love interests which did not come as too much of a surprise (since the plot easily set it up) but I loved watching them interact and finally admit feelings. I equally cheered on both couples and the HEA (for now) that the story ended with made my heart swell to three times it's normal size with love. Yep, I am a sap and refuse to be sorry about it. It was also nice to Darien and Elle pop up and still be so in love.

As a fangirl who loves her cons and fictional stories and adventures, Ashley did a great job of creating an immersive experience full of quotes and characters from other fandoms. I never thought anything could beat my love of Geekerella, but in complete honesty, The Princess and the Fan Girl was wonderful, just the same amount of perfect as Geekerella but in an entirely different way. The ending was just what I hoped for and I can't wait for my physical copy to show up in the mail so I can hug it close and reread my favorite scenes- repeatedly. I really need there to be a third One Upon a Con series and I will patient wait for that (potentially fictional) day- but a fangirl can hope.

"Look to the Stars!
Aim!
Ignite!"

I absolutely adored this book and made a whole video about it on my BookTube channel (added to links section if this form).

I was a huge fan of Geekerella when it came out so I was highly anticipating this book but sadly I didn't love it as much as the first book.
I think The Princess and the fangirl had the same heart as it had in Geekerella so I adored that but I wasn't in love with our two main characters.
The book takes places over a weekend during the ExcelsiCon and Starfield actress Jessica Stone meets Imogen and a Parent Trap/Freaky Friday event takes place. I just felt like the 2 stories were a little disjointed and I needed more than just the weekend.
I enjoyed the 2 romances but wasn't in love with them. They were both very instalove which is fine by me but there wasn't enough time to have a spark or a deep connection in either of the relationships.
Overall I enjoyed the book and would recommend if you've read Geekerella and also if your a fandom lover at heart.
This series is made for fans of fandoms. For people who love a fandom with everything they have and pour their heart and soul into it which I love about this series. It's made me fall in love with Starfield and I will be continuing on with the series even if this one was a little lackluster.
As always,

I liked this story, although not as much as geekerella. I think YAs will enjoy this look at fandom, but it might be a little too fangeeky for some.

Just as magical as Geekerlla, Poston returns to the same world and same con event. Imogen and Jess are two very different people, one a superfan and one an actress. Starfield is what connects them though for one it is a love and the other a hate. This retelling is such a delight to read because it makes the reader feel like they are at the con and a fan of the Starfield characters and films. I love the realistic characters, quirky and fun experiences and the romance that blooms in unexpected places. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a romantic read with a lot of heart and a focus on self discovery and acceptance. I can't wait to see how Poston continues this fantastic group of retellings! Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Fandom and celebrity collide in this delightfully geeky YA retelling of the Prince and the Pauper. In the companion novel to 2017’s Geekerella, author Ashley Poston returns to the halls of ExcelsiCon and the Starfield fandom with the story of an actress looking to escape and a fan who wants to be noticed.

After the cult classic sci-fi television show is rebooted into a film, Starfield turns into a box-office success. When the film’s sequel announcement coincides with the annual ExcelsiCon, the fandom buzzes with news and rumors as the film’s cast is slated to make an appearance. Everyone is excited about the franchise’s future – except its leading lady. Actress Jessica Stone was a rising star before being cast as the fierce, fan-favorite Princess Amara. Now, she’s worried more about ruining her future career than she is about whether or not she’ll be in the second film. She’d rather just disappear for a little while to figure it all out. Meanwhile, Starfield fangirl Imogen Lovelace wants nothing more than to see her favorite space princess on the big screen once again.

When the two realize their uncanny resemblance to one another, it provides the perfect chance for each to get what they want. As the con weekend goes on, script leaks threaten the future of the franchise as Jessica and Imogen soon realize that swapping lives, even for a weekend, is a lot more complicated than they thought.

I loved this book. It has some great moments that highlight how much fandom can mean to people – for better or worse. The Princess and the Fangirl explores the relationships between fans and creators. Conventions are a wonderful place for fans to celebrate their fandoms. Can the same be said for the celebrity guests? Jessica Stone is every actress cast as a fan-favorite in genre television or film. Held to impossible standards, she struggles under the weight of the constant onslaught of public opinion over her portrayal of Princess Amara. On the other side of the con, Imogen feels like she’s invisible among her talented friends and family. While the girls come from different places, their stories are both compelling and relatable for anyone standing on the edge of adulthood.

While the book verges into the dark side of fandom to address trolls, body-shaming, harassment, and general toxicity, it never loses sight of the story it’s telling. In the end, it’s stronger for focusing on that message: loving yourself is a hard thing to do sometimes. It’s also got the perfect amount of adorably nerdy (and queer!) romance. The cast is an eclectic, inclusive group of fans that represent the diverse, quirky heart of fandom and convention life. Poston breathes life into these characters so well you’d think they walked right off the con floor.

Verdict: Read it!

While it’s a fantastic companion novel to Geekerella, The Princess and the Fangirl absolutely stands on its own. This delightful fairytale-retelling is a geeky gem for anyone who’s ever felt unseen or found themselves under unfair fandom scrutiny. Growing up in the convention scene, there were so many little moments in the book that hit just the right note for me. A lot of love went into the portrayal of fan culture; the book doesn’t stray into stereotypes or cliché tropes. Any serious themes blend into the narrative organically; it never feels manufactured or heavy-handed. In all, the book is a fun, lighthearted look into fandom conventions and the people who love them. Moreover, the fact that the main cast features a number of diverse LGBTQ+ characters and relationships is a definite bonus. The queer protagonists in this book certainly get the chance to shine.

The Princess and the Fangirl wonderfully captures the energy and chaos of convention life for both fans and guests. It’s a YA book with a lot of a heart. Moreover, it’s a great read for the fangirl (or boy!) in all of us. And don’t forget the most important thing – #SaveAmara.

Book Review: The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston

One of my favorite summer reads from last year was Geekerella by Ashley Poston. It’s a contemporary retelling of Cinderella told with a fangirl twist. I instantly fell in love with the lead characters, Elle and Darien, and their adorable, geeky love story. (Read more of my gushy review right here -- http://pop-culturalist.com/geekerella/) I was thrilled to learn that Poston was going to take readers back to the world of Geekerella with The Princess and the Fangirl.

The Princess and the Fangirl is a companion novel to Geekerella. It’s a modern, fangirl retelling of the classic The Prince and the Pauper. The Princess in this story will be familiar to Geekerella readers. She is none other than Jessica Stone, the actress playing Princess Amara in the Starfield movie. The Pauper is a new character named Imogen Lovelace. She’s a fangirl determined to bring her favorite character, Princess Amara, back to life for the movie’s sequel. A chance encounter at ExcelsiCon brings Jess and Imogen together, and they are shocked to discover just how much they look alike. The girls decide to switch lives to give Jess the anonymity she needs to find the culprit that is leaking script pages from the movie’s sequel. As Jess and Imogen pretend to be each other, they unexpectedly go on a journey of self-discovery, redefining their identity, and opening themselves up to new romances.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The Princess and the Fangirl is centered on the emotional arcs of Jess and Imogen rather than their respective love stories. Each girl’s love interest does play a part in her personal growth, but the love story never overshadows Jess and Imogen’s path to self-acceptance.
• There are a lot of important themes present in this novel that will resonate with readers. Poston discusses the positive and negative sides of fandom culture, sexual harassment, self-worth, self-love, and female empowerment.
• There are no shortages of pop culture references and fandom lingo that will make you laugh out loud.
• I loved the cameos by some of the Geekerella cast!! It was great to get a little update on what they’ve been up to.

LOWLIGHTS

• The story felt a bit rushed to me, but that may be due to it taking place over the course of three days. This is also why I couldn’t really get behind the two ships because it felt a lot like insta-love.

Final thoughts: The Princess and the Fangirl is an enjoyable mix of a charming rom-com and a hilarious tribute to fandoms.

Thank you to Quirk Books for sending us an e-ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The book review will be posted on our site on April 6, 2019.

Adorkable!

Ashley Poston deliveries another fantastically nerdy retelling. With so many fun nerdy references its hard not to fall in love with these characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and seriously hope Poston writes more!

I LOVED IT. Maybe even more than Geekerella? I didn't even know I was reading so late into the night, I was that caught up in it. As a con girl myself, reading about Jess and Imogen was really fun. The only thing I'm not sure about was Ethan and Imogen's connection, I didn't quite believe it? But otherwise, excellent.

*A big thanks to Netgalley and to the publisher for this eARC in exchange for a honest review*

For this review, I’m really speechless. This is how good this book is! After reading it, I want to blurt it out what really happened and what are the good points of this book, but I can’t give that easily and I don’t want to spoil everyone. You have to read it. If you haven’t read Geekerella that’s alright, it’s pretty different story BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SHOULD (PLEASE!!). There are some references from Geekerella that you will not be familiar with and maybe confuses you in some parts and it’ll SPOIL you! So please pretty please read the first book, Geekerella, and I know you’ll enjoy it too!

I already love the concept of the writing where it shows two different people with different mindset in the Con, just like in Geekerella. The mixed up of the story really balances one another that’s why her writing makes even more great and bigger as you read and finishes it. The scenes are perfect to each other, alternating, it’s just like written in perfection. Then the characters are nearly what I want IRL situation, especially when you meet Ethan. Ethan is also a nerd and Jessica’s assistant. He’s really like your dreamy book boyfriend and book bestfriend. Ugh!

What I really wanted to highlight in this review is to see the artist (Jessica Stone) sides during Cons, especially the one doesn’t want the fandom at all. Her ups and downs are really struggle, the bashing of the people then the pressure for the incoming show that she doesn’t want to be in. It’s really hard and we (as a non-popular person) never thought about it. It’s great to see a little insight in the artist side. On the other hand, I just love Imogen’s character so much. Not only she’s a nerdy girl, but she’s also a great sister and a fighter. I really love the way she talks about the Geekerella thing (there is a scene where she talks something in Geekerella), it brings back the memories where I first fall in love with the writer’s characters and remember the story. She’s just knew what she’s doing and dreamy about her happily ever after.

Overall, the book is PERFECT! Yet again, Ashley Poston didn’t fail me not to fall in love with her re-telling fairytale. I wish she could write more stories like this. Like fandoms then fall inlove… I know it’s just like a simple love story but this story give me this big attachment that I really can’t forget easily.

The perfect follow up to GEEKERELLA! I loved the first book so much and I couldn't have asked for a better companion novel. The same charming, geeky feel as the first book full of sweet moments. My heart was bursting the whole way through. I'm so happy to have read this and would 100% read again. Great voice, great writing, great plot. Can't recommend enough!

I loved this book! Ashley Poston's writing is just as charming as ever. I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I loved Geekerella, but it surprised me! The story is fun and clever, with plenty of humor. Highly recommended both to fans of Geekerella and to any readers looking for a YA contemporary that tackles both fairy tales and fandom culture with charm.

Another fantastic tale from Poston. This is a world I could get lost in, over and over.

Full of geeky references and actions, diverse characters, and an adorable plot, I got lost in this quickly.

I absolutely adored Geekerella, and this one was just as much fun. Ash Poston knows how to do fandom! Seriously, I think anyone who is a proud fandom nerd can see some of themselves in these books and that makes them that much more enjoyable. I think it's also cool to see fandom from not only the perspective of the fan, but also the actors. I'm so here for all the LGBT representation in YA lit lately! I love the not so into each other Imogen and Jessica, almost as much as the we're totally going to be a couple Imogen and Jessica. There is a switch in the beginning and it is ridiculous, but hilarity ensues from it! I think you have to just read this book for what it is, an ode to fandom and the way it can bring people together even with the pitfalls. I hope you enjoy nerding out to this book as much as I did!

The Princess and the Fangirl Switched Things Up
Last year, I read Geekerella, a *super fun* retelling of Cinderella- except transposed onto the fandom arena. Now, I’m happy to be back with a review for the sequel- a modern take on the Prince and the Pauper! And I am so excited to say that Poston didn’t rest on her laurels with this one- from the stellar opening, it was an entertaining journey of intergalactic proportions!
One of the things that stood out for me was the range of styles exhibited here. The dual perspectives works perfectly, as they’re easily distinguishable. Imogen is laugh out loud funny, while Jess is prone to out of this world descriptions and cosmic imagery. Both collide in this deftly handled narrative, successfully shifting tones and delivering a cohesive narrative. Even better, it feels like two stories for the price of one!
The characters shone through strongly. And I especially like that they reflected the idea: “She wasn’t perfect, but she didn’t try to be”- yes!! That’s the heroine we want… and the heroines we get from this book! Surprisingly, despite being a superstar, I ended up empathising with Jess more. Sure, Imogen/Monster was relatable, but I loved how this humanised a celebrity, whilst also being sweet and inspiring. It genuinely moved me to see how insecure they were- showing how they had a lot more in common than superficial things like their appearance. Personally, I thought this was one of the best parts of the book.
I also preferred Jess’ romance. While I enjoyed the hate-to-love aspect of Imogen’s relationship, Jess and Harper made my sappy heart melt. Maybe it was the incredible descriptions, maybe it was overcoming the obstacles to being together and maybe it was the genuine angst keeping them apart (I completely understood why Jess held back and kept secrets!). I simply adored the romance so much- I might have exploded with joy!
I *loved* the geeky references as well- they gave me such pleasure and made so much sense in this context. There was even a solid reference to the Yellow Wallpaper– so kudos for that! Once again, the slang was top notch. Man, I just wish this was a real show so we could all argue about it in real life (JK- seriously, please don’t @me!)
On that note, this book did open up some interesting discussions about the toxic side of fandoms… which I’ll admit I’m a little scared to venture into and demonstrates the problem (and the point the book didn’t mean to make, but kinda did: fandoms are a little intense guys). However, even if it was good that this book at least attempted to explore the issues of “us vs them” mentalities in fandoms, I did feel it fell to heavily on the “you’re either with us or against us” side, largely demonising critical voices as sexist pigs. I ultimately thought that the way it dealt with self-esteem was quite a bit better than its view of how to handle trolls (go under the bridge and hit them with a big stick… only joking- don’t do that!) Annnd now I feel like some people are gonna want to wage war on me in the comments…
So moving onto the more frothy side of fangirling, I did really like that this felt like an interconnected universe, bringing Elle’s blog back from the last book! Best. Crossover. Ever. Every appearance and mention of old characters lit me up!
In the end, if you liked how dorky the first one was (like I did), if you enjoyed it as a fresh look at a fairy tale (like I did) then you are bound to like this (like I did!).
Happily, I gave it:
4/5 bananas

I’ve countlessly fallen in love with Ashley Poston’s writing style and this time was no different. I love how we start off the book at a great pace and there is no unnecessary stuff and everything’s going so smoothly in terms of pacing throughout the book! It’s like magic.

I think one of my favourite parts about how the author writes is how in-tune she is with the fandom world. There are ship names being thrown randomly, cosplays being talked about intensively, fanfics and mangas, character campaigns, art and merch and shipping people in real life. Like no, Ashley Poston didn’t write this book. Her inner fangirl did.

Throughout the book we discuss the pros and cons of fandoms because lets face it, we’re not all angels. There are some dark parts and downsides of each fandom which are discussed quite a bit in the book. For example a few of the topics I loved are actors getting criticized for not being more like the characters they play, shipping actors in real life and so on. This is the real deal.

Coming on to characters, THIS BOOK HAS THE FLUFFIEST AND MOST ADORABLE CHARACTERS! Like I wondered how I could love this book as much as Geekerella but wow I was in love from page one.

Imogen is a true fangirl, it’s in her blood. She had me giggling so much! I personally was able to relate how Imogen not only loved the Starfield fandom, it was a part of her because the characters resonated with her on a personal level and gave her the strength and courage and inspiration she needed in real life. Books are so much more than just entertainment and Ashely Poston beautifully explains that.

Jess was a character I was skeptical about because I wasn’t a huge fan of her in the last book but wow her character went through some serious development. I loved seeing everything from her perspective and realizing that she wasn’t a bad character at all but just a tired girl who was dealing with a lot of hate that was honestly unasked for, among other things. She had so many different aspects to her personality that amazed me and seeing her open and flourish with Harper was spectacular. Speaking of Harper, I kinda wish we could have seen more of her? She was a wonderful person and I just want more of her, hehe I’m so greedy.

AND SO MANY CAMEOS FROM ELLE, SAGE AND DARRIEN EEEEP MY HEART!!!

Oh, oh let’s not forget the cute romances!

On one side we had an easy friendship to love romance with um identity issues threatening to tear the characters apart and on the other side we had this hate to friendship to love relationship where the two idiots didn’t get that they were clearly meant to be together. These four drove me NUTS!

Also featuring cute gay relationships like that of Imogen’s mothers and her brother and his boyfriend, like awww casual LGBT rep on the side, gimme more! Umm apart from the obvious thing going on between Jess and Harper :))

And despite all this the book still has so much more?

--->douchebag men who are taught a lesson
--->being you and accepting your true self
--->AMAZING quotes that I couldn’t share with anyone -_-
--->a small heist omg
--->SLEUTHING
--->dealing with toxic relationships
--->also plot twist!!!
--->A+ siblings relationship
--->Darrien being a supportive Hufflepuff fluffball
--->WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?!

All the feeeeels!!

Ashley Poston’s The Princess and The Fangirl is the companion story to Geekerella, alternating in POV between Jessica Stone, costar of the Starfield movies, and Imogen Lovelace, a fangirl and convention attendee who looks strikingly similar to Jess. I think you can see where this is going….aw yeah “twin swap” trope! Jess is over the fandom hating her and Imogen just wants to save the fictional princess she loves so much. When the two meet and swap lives, shenanigans ensue. But when pages from the Starfield sequel script start getting leaked on Twitter, it’s up to the two girls (with the help of a few friends) to track down the culprit and put an end to the spoilers.

I really loved this book! I was a big fan of Geekerella and I felt like this was the perfect companion story. It was nice to get a glimpse of Elle and Darien, but Imogen and Jess totally shine on their own. Jessica can be hard to like at times, especially in the beginning. She’s very opinionated and very vocal about those opinions. She is clearly used to getting her way and is often a bit bratty, but as the story progresses she develops and grows and it becomes clear why she wears such tough armor. Imogen is sweet and nerdy and just loved Starfield and Princess Amara an absurd amount. I know that person. I am that person. Imogen spoke to my soul a lot more than Jess did, so it was much easier to like her and want to follow her story.

The plot was fun, even when there were more “slice of life” type scenes just detailing things happening at the convention. I love that kind of thing, and it worked well for me in this book. The romances were cute, but not overly well developed. Both girls spend a lot of time focusing on other things that are going on and because of that the romance aspect suffers a bit. I enjoyed both relationships and was definitely rooting for each couple, but I wanted more development and interaction between the paired-up parties to really see why they were so into each other.

This book is a lot of fun, full of fluffy goodness, and has a lot of geek and fandom love.

**3.5 stars**
The Princess and the Fangirl is everything you would expect it to be: charming, quirky, humorous, entertaining, and tremendously enjoyable. I read this book from start to finish in one sitting. If you have ever loved a show, book, or hobby to the point where you are basically obsessed with it, then you will be able to relate to one of the main characters in this book.
Imogen is 100% a fangirl for Starfield. But, she doesn’t agree with their decision to kill off her favorite character, Princess Amara. In fact, she’s created a whole movement called “Save Princess Amara”. She refuses to let the produces and writers of the show turn Amara into a foil for the male lead. Our other main character is Jessica Stone. She is none other than the actress who portrays Princess Amara in the latest Starfield reboot. The only thing is that she HATES Starfield. She’s glad her character died and she definitely doesn’t want Amara to be in the next film. However, one day while at Comic-Con the director hands her a package and tells her it’s their “little secret”. Jess knows it has to be the script for the next Starfield movie, so naturally, she throws it in the trash. WAIT, WHAT? Yes, she throws it in her hotel trash can. If Amara’s in the movie then surely her agent will tell her, right?
Soon Jess finds out someone stole the script from her trash can and they are leaking photos of the super confidential script on Twitter. That leaves Jess with one option: she has to track down the thief at Comic-Con. The only issue is that Jess’s days are filled with panels and interviews. There’s no way she can be in two places at the same time...or is there? Turns out Imogen shares an uncanny resemblance to Jess. Will Imogen agree to Jess’s plan? Will Jess find the script before everyone finds out it’s her fault it has been leaked? Will Imogen save Princess Amara? Read to find out!
I really enjoyed reading this book, however, I didn’t love it which is why I’m only giving it 3.5 stars. The characters needed a bit more development, in my opinion. Jess’s arc was written pretty well, but Imogen’s could use a bit more work. I found Imogen to be a tad annoying at times. She never stopped to think about what Jess’s life could be like instead she just judged her based off of her initial impression of her. She also never considered how her actions could affect Jess’s career and personal life. My next complaint would be that the ending felt a tad rushed. Everything was solved too quickly--including the romances.
Overall, this is an incredibly lighthearted read. I encourage everyone to check it out and give it a chance. If you read the first book, Geekerella, you’ll get a few glimpses of some of your favorite characters in this book!
