After everything she has lost she is stilling getting up each day and trying to live. Characters:Įlla’s battle with accepting her disability and scares after the accident is heartbreaking, but I think she was an amazingly strong character. This story is told in first person and from the perspectives of both Ella and Cinder. The fairy god mother came in the form of Ella’s Vivien and her two dads and prince charming is of course Cinder. Instead, the partial bad guy in this was Ella’s step-dad and the mean kids from Ella’s school. I really liked how this book didn’t follow tradition, there was only one super-mean step sister, the other was relatively ok and no wicked step-mother. The only bright spot in Ella’s life is her online friend Cinder. After 8 months in a coma, she wakes up to find that she must move across the country to live with the father that abandoned her and his new family. She has been left scarred and damaged from a car crash that also killed her mother.

Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes everythingĪs you can probably tell from the title, this is a re-telling of Cinderella but with a twist. Brian isn’t thrilled with the arrangement-or his fake fiancée-but decides he’ll suffer through it if it means he’ll get an Oscar nomination. In order to douse the flames on Brian’s bad-boy reputation, his management stages a fake engagement for him to his co-star Kaylee. There’s major buzz around his performance in his upcoming film The Druid Prince, but his management team says he won’t make the transition from teen heartthrob to serious A-list actor unless he can prove he’s left his wild days behind and become a mature adult. Hollywood sensation Brian Oliver has a reputation for being trouble. The only way she can think of to start healing is by reconnecting with the one person left in the world who’s ever meant anything to her-her anonymous Internet best friend, Cinder. If Ella wants to escape her father’s home and her awful new stepfamily, she must convince her doctors that she’s capable, both physically and emotionally, of living on her own. After a very difficult recovery, she’s been uprooted across the country and forced into the custody of a father that abandoned her when she was a young child.

It’s been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother.
