4 stars because I liked the message of this story. I didn't really connect to the characters and there are other Cinderella retellings I like better but I liked the storyline.

Fun, light fiction. I like Cinderella stories. I already found my Prince Charming. :-)
I liked the ending of this book---it had some depth, but the rest of it was pretty much on the surface. It was enjoyable and an easy read, but the characters weren't very real or convincing. I have found that a lot of this author's books are like that. I like Shannon Hale's retold fairy tales better.

This was a fun perspective on the Cinderella story - what happens after "happily ever after". Ella is a very likeable protagonist, I think. I thought the ending of the book was a bit abrupt though, and left some loose ends. I don't think I'll read it again...but it was entertaining.

I'd give this book a 3.75 I really liked it. its a super easy read. It's the story of cinderella after she meets the price. I think this is more of a young, young adult book therefore its not very deep and simple. I wish she would rewrite it for an older reader because I loved the concept.

Cute quick read...another twist on the cinderella story. I am a sucker for fairy tales.
Fun little twist on the Cinderella story.
Cinderella, the unexpected story. What if she and Prince Charming didn't live happily ever after? Healthy dose of reality after the bubble of her new fantasy life burst. Follow your dreams, (but if they don't turn out how you expect, don't be afraid to find a new dream) and be true to yourself are the messages of this book.

I liked the idea of this book - what if Cinderella's prince Charming turned out to be an idiotic jerk? :)
But I just didn't really like Ella. Can't quite put my finger on why... but she just didn't seem that believable to me. ...more

This book was just ok. I felt like the characters were so over the top and even a bit ridiculous. Ella was a little bit whiny Which may have been magnified by the reader of the audio book because I really didn't like her voice.
