From the acclaimed author of Geekerella, this spin on the Prince and the Pauper is a perfect story for geek girls of every fandom.
Movie star Jessica Stone can't bear to pretend to love Starfield at yet another con-except her contract obligates her to do just that. She never dreamed she'd be playing Princess Amara for life, yet for better or worse, beloved Princess Amara has Jessica's face. But so does someone else ...
Imogen Lovelace is just another Starfield fan hitting up ExcelsiCon-except she happens to look an awful lot like Jessica Stone. So when Jess spots her doppelganger, a brilliant idea pops into her head: swap places! Jess can escape the spotlight for a few days, while Imogen can ditch her cruddy job and dodgy hotel room to see life beyond her dull hometown.
Jess doesn't anticipate actually liking Imogen's life or the gorgeous non-famous girl who might be the person she needs to forget about her ex. And Imogen loves being Jess-until she's trapped in a paparazzi snafu and realizes fame isn't all it's cracked up to be. With the press poised to reveal their secrets, and an announcement about the sequel looming, both Jess and Imogen will have to stand up for the truth: That there is no such thing as a fake geek girl. That what you love matters. That fandom can, and should, let you be who you really are.
