The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston
5.0

Geekerella and The Princess and the Fangirl are companions but set around the same fandom and con. For fans, you’ll see familiar characters and for new fans, you can pick up the story here or go back and read Geekerella (HIGHLY RECOMMEND).

You’ll fall in love with the characters and dang if you won’t wish the fandom and con were real. I loved all of the characters but when Jessica said they were too old for silly sci-fi shows, I was ready to escort her out. But Ashley is masterful at slowly peeling back the layers of Jessica so they you eventually understand her motives. I loved the commentary on toxic fanboys and their gross actions in the Star Wars fandom. I cheered all the way through.

I want to see the two worlds collide a bit more and the next con with the next movie! Also, WHERE IS FRANK? Need more. And Harper! I wish we saw more of her and Imogen in the book. Side note, Cathy Yardley writes an adult romance series in the same vein called the Fandom Hearts series. It’s one of my fav adult romance series for all the same reasons I love Geekerella. They’re on audio!
