I wanted to love this story so much more than I did. It made my geeky little heart sing with the references to some of my most favourite fandoms! However, the characters took far too long to stand up for themselves and I like my characters with a bit more candor and backbone than these. They just felt a little lacking for me, but the story was fun though.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Bullying, Confinement, Emotional abuse, Stalking, Death of parent, Gaslighting, Toxic friendship, Abandonment, and Classism

A truly delightful homage to DragonCon and geekdom everywhere. I listened to the audiobook and smiled the whole way through. Checks plenty of recognizable moments as a Cinderella retelling but also wholly its own. Highly recommend.
Moderate: Bullying and Emotional abuse
Minor: Death of parent, Lesbophobia, and Classism
