Very cute. Not spicy, but very sweet, and I loved the nods to Cinderella while not being such an exact retelling. Having just watched Bridgerton, season 3, Cindy was played by Nicola Coughlan in my head. đź’•

I don’t watch the bachelor and I’ve never read a book by Julie Murphy before this one. I thought the story was cute and sweet but a little too predictable. Maybe I should’ve known it would be predictable…? I did like the fact that Cindy’s stepmom and sisters are very supportive and just straight up loved her. I also like that Cindy is plus size. I would definitely consider reading another book by Murphy. But I do agree with others about the lack of depths of the other characters.

Me gustĂł mucho la historia, porque es un giro inesperado a la historia tan conocida de la cenicienta y es muchĂsimo más actual , atendiendo a lo que se maneja en la actualidad.

omg this was so perfect. it was so cute and fluffy and had me blushing and giggling. i've been in a slump and so i listened to the majority of this on audiobook. i only actually read the last 60ish pages.
i've always had a soft spot for cinderella and cinderella retellings and this one includes a bachelor like reality show which is so fun because i also love books about reality TV. the thing that was THE MOST nice about the cinderella aspect of this book was the fact that the stepmother and sisters weren’t evil. they genuinely cared about cindy and it was an adorable relationship.
i could see this one becoming a comfort read <3
