Recasting Prince Charming as Darien, dreamboat star of a cult sci-fi show's new reboot, and the prince's ball as "ExcelsiCon," Poston delivers a sweet, breezy "Cinderella" update. A cosplay contest offers heroine Elle a chance to attend the premiere of her beloved Starfield--with Darien. This sweet rom-com smartly serves up hidden identities, unabashed fandom, thwarted yearnings, and satisfying triumphs.
