This book was REALLY good!!! I loved it so much and I really loved this as Cinderella retelling. It was completely different from any Cinderella retelling I've read before while still maintaining some of the classic elements of the fairytale.

I found the romance to be really sweet and touching. It was obvious that Ella and Brian truly loved one another just from their messages and phone calls. I loved seeing their relationship develop and seeing how they interacted with one another. They were re

I wasn't expecting to love this book as much as I do. I was thinking it was going to be just a fun, cheesy book about a high school crush. I was completely wrong. Cinder and Ella truly has it all. Great story? Check! Well developing characters you can relate to? Check! The ability to make you laugh, cry and smile? Check again! I read this book in just a few hours because I couldn't wait to see what happened, but at the same time didn't want it to end. The tragedies poor Ella has to face are just ...more

So I was recommended this Author by a friend of mine because she knows that I like to read books that I can share with my 13 year old daughter. Not knowing anything about her I dove in and read Cinder & Ella….twice!!! My daughter having also read it came out of her room with the same look I had, red faced and tear stained cheeks.

I am drawn to this story for so many reasons and fell in love with it and even looked up Kelly Oram and went to her page and asked if there was a support group. I could

Why the hell did I wait so long to read this? Also, how many ways can I say Best Book Ever?! So many swoons, sobs and moments that make me wish I re-read this book a million times for the first time. Of course, when does Kelly not write a flawless book with a perfectly flawed romance? Seriously. When?

So I don't even know what thought to start with. I cried—a lot—which is out of character for me, but there is something about Ella's struggle between her parents and trying to fit in and find kindness and forgiveness that just really reached me. But my favorite thing has to be the humor. It's hard to find books that make you laugh out loud, at least in my experience, but this one drew lol's out of me from start to finish. It's a great book if you want entertainment, and chick-flick like humor an ...more

Omg! This is absolutely a great book to read after the appetizing and sinful holiday because of the fat inducing and tooth breaking foods, haha. Which also made me feel that it’s been a very very long time since I’ve read a book from Kelly Oram (which honestly, what I always feel when I read her books haha) I’ve known Cinder & Ella for quite a while now but it’s just now that I finally able to read it. Well, I guess it’s better late than never eh?

Cinder & Ella is just a short story that you can

Absolutely loved it!!

I absolutely loved this story!!! Ella and Cinder/Brian are fantastic! We get to see so much growth for them while also seeing and feeling them stay true to themselves. They both have to grow in different ways and there are definitely some growing pains. Ella has been on a horrific accident and is in the middle of her long road to full recovery. She will never be the same and she has to come to grips with what that means moving forward. She is soo strong and is dealing with b

I loved it! As every Kelly Oram book, it was great. It was also such an original idea, I've never read anything like that. It was also really inspiring, it made me think about the girls that aren't comfortable in their bodies, and that made me so sad. I mean, it's an extreme case of discomfort, but it shows the idea. I don't feel good in my body either, but I now know that some people have it way worse than me.
It was a great book, I 100% recommend it.
