Can’t Wait Wednesday – THE PRINCESS AND THE FANGIRL by Ashley Poston
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in for over a year now, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll just be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is THE PRINCESS AND THE FANGIRL by Ashley Poston. I had so much fun reading Poston’s Geekerella, so I’m thrilled that she has another Once Upon a Con book coming out next year. This time it’s a Prince and the Pauper remake that is set in the Geekerella universe, which sounds great. I just love books that focus on fandoms!
THE PRINCESS AND THE FANGIRL by Ashley Poston
Publication Date: April 2, 2019
From Goodreads
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 bestselling 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-a-likes 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.

Thanks, me too!
This sounds cute. I had assumed that it was The Princess and the Frog (but I guess that wouldn’t make sense).
When I first saw the title, I was expecting The Princess and the Frog too!
I think this one looks fun, and Geekerella seemed to get pretty great reviews too. I like that we’re getting more books about fandoms and conventions and stuff.

Me too. Fandom books are always so much fun to read.
I loved Geekarella and I LOVE identity switch plots (Parent Trap!!) so I am definitely reading this one too!
