This was such a cute story! I love Ella and Katie's friendship. And Asher was just perfect. I would have loved to have his POV in the story also. But still a really well written book.

Reviewed on behalf of 2 girls who love books blog.
Charming by Jennifer Miller is a romantic comedy standalone novel and as the cover says it really is ‘A modern day sexy Cinderella story’. I absolutely loved every single minute of it. It was extremely well written and I instantly loved the characters. There were times of laughter, sadness and heart-warming moments.
The story is about Gabriella, Ella to her friends! She wins an all-expense paid fairy-tale vacation but what was meant to be a romantic honeymoon turned into something completely different.
I thought the characters were great in this book, Ella was strong, independent but clearly still wanted to be whisked off her feet by her prince charming and her best friend Katie provided many comedic moments throughout the story. I definitely laughed out loud at some of the things Ella and Katie did and said. Asher was a true gentleman, although a famous actor he was down to earth and just wanted to meet the right lady who he could treat like a princess. He is very dreamy!!
I loved how after reading this book I could actually match the characters to their fairy-tale equivalent. We have Ella (Cinderella), Asher (Prince Charming), an evil step-mother and step-sister, we have the lady who listens to Ella’s story on the plane (The Fairy Godmother), we also have the pink flip flop (the glass slipper) and as with all good fairy-tales – they lived happily ever after.
The book is very cleverly written as we have chapters from the present day and the past. Ella is basically retelling her holiday to Faye, the lady sitting next to her on the plane.
I think this is definitely one of those books that I will read again and again.
If you are looking for a funny book with characters you will love, an end ending that will bring a tear to your eye and warmth in your heart then this is the story you need to read.
An amazing story that undoubtedly deserves the 5 stars I give it!
