My  quarantine  reading adventure continues.  The young adult novel  Geekerella  by  Ashley Poston   is a modern- nerd culture  spin o f  the old fairy t ale  Cinderella (in case you didn’t  get  it).  I thoroughly enjoyed this book  and personally, I’m a huge fan of  retellings  in addition to being a huge romance  lover .  In this retelling, we meet  Elle  Wittimer ,  and in her universe, she eats and breath e s the world of  Starfield,   a sci-fi television show that she grew up watching with her father.    Just like in Cinderella,  Ella’s  father is no longer alive and she lives in her parent's home  with a super wicked step-mother ,   and twin step-sisters  who  b ully  her  and  emotionally abuse he r .
