This is the Cinderella retelling that I've been waiting for. I can't afford it right now, so I am also grateful it was in my library system to borrow (yay libraries!). It's kind, is the thing. In 2020, I find myself seeking kind stories, and even though this has its hurdles, they are great challenges. I loved every character, and I loved how the story was laid out. Obvious the author has script experience. I was sad to learn it's his first novel. I hope it's not his last. :)

Cinderella is Chris, living in New York with his stepmother, stepsister and stepbrother. Prince Charming duly returns the shoe after the ball about a third of the way through the book and then life starts to get really complicated. Who is JJ Kennerly really interested in anyway? Chris or his definitely not ugly stepsister?

I didn't actually LOL but it was pretty funny. A good light read.

Chris Bellows is not like the rest of his family. They are interested in fame, fortune, the social scene. Chris wouldn't mind a more unsuspecting and quiet life. But when his stepsister Kimberly begins dating J.J. Kennerly, an heir to a fortune and a public image that is well beyond the Bellows family's current station, Chris is along for the ride. And that ride becomes even more interesting when he develops his own feelings for J.J.--feelings that J.J. just might seem keen to reciprocate. A chance meeting with a very helpful new friend, Coco Chanel Jones, helps push Chris forward to maybe allowing himself to be who he wants to be and to believe that he just might deserve the things that he wants.

I am a fan of well-written adaptations, and I particularly like those where you can identify the inspiration but still manage to tell a unique and original story. This book delivers on all of those points in spades. There's a lightness and humor to the story that I particularly appreciated. And in the end, I feel like everyone gets what they deserve.

This was so much fun. I made the mistake of starting this around 10:30 before bed and finished around 2:30 AM. I didn't want to stop reading!

This was the gay Cinderella retelling I didn't realized I needed in my life. I loved Coco/Duane as the fairy godmother, and the fact that she/he saved the day. I appreciated that the author made the step-family human and while they had faults, they were not bad people.

And J.J. and Chris are just the sweetest. I adored the two of them. Their closeted romance was a bit cliched, but it worked out really well.

I just wanted a little more to the story. It ended so abruptly! Maybe an epilogue or even just one more scene.
