Publisher's summary

The Prince and the Pauper gets a modern makeover in this adorable, witty, and heartwarming young-adult novel set in the Geekerella universe by national best-selling author Ashley Poston.

Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: save her favorite character, Princess Amara, from being killed off from her favorite franchise, Starfield. The problem is, Jessica Stone, the actress who plays Princess Amara, wants nothing more than to leave the intense scrutiny of the fandom behind. If this year's ExcelsiCon isn't her last, she'll consider her career derailed.

When a case of mistaken identity throws look-alikes Imogen and Jess together, they quickly become enemies. But when the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, and all signs point to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. That's easier said than done when the girls step into each other's shoes and discover new romantic possibilities, as well as the other side of intense fandom. As these "princesses" race to find the script leaker, they must rescue themselves from their own expectations and redefine what it means to live happily ever after.

Loved it!

I liked this book even more than the 1st in the series. Sweet story and livable characters.

I couldn’t finish thanks to Jess

Jess may be the most unbearable character. She whines all the time and the narrator dies a great job of conveying her whining. I serious just had it with her and turned it off bc I couldn’t hear her complaining anymore.

cute cute cute

Story moves quickly
Characters grabbed me from the beginning
Narration was flawless
Looking foewllrward to the next in series

Narrator was good editing wasn’t great

There was a lot of repeat sentences in this audiobook. They could’ve done a lot better job with the editing.

Super sweet follow up

A great listen that I flew through! loved meeting new characters in the same Geekerella universe ✨️

funny gripping story

Loved It, the continued story of past characters amazing variety of new characters how they all come together giving you every emotion & making you laugh while craving a finish to the twists and turns in the plot! Plus happy ending with couples is always a bonus!

Cute

I like these cute stories that relate to fairy tales. The characters in the story are a bit dramatic. My inner teenager remembers being dramatic like these characters.

Really enjoying this series.

I really enjoyed this read. I think it was just as good as the first one. It was funny and well thought out and the fandom of the first book continued to be strong and engaging. I enjoyed the fact that this book was set at the con compared to the last one where the con was just a little portion, which was also nice but I liked that both books took place in different environments. I enjoyed the LGBTQ+ aspects of the book being from that community myself.

Romantic con fun

Saving Princess Amara is a big job in many ways, Imogene is up to the job, but can she convince Jess?
A fun adventure through Rom Con, along with an emotional roller coaster. Come along for the fun!

Great sequel!

Sometimes sequels can really sick but this one pretty much nailed it! I enjoyed the fact that it was two different stories coming together while remaining linked to the OG story Geekerella. Can't wait to start on the third in the series!
