It was interesting to learn a little bit more about Daniel and Six. The story is simple compared to Holder and Sky but still interesting.

Once I started this, I only put it down to eat something for dinner and didn't to be that rude person reading at the dinner table. lol.
GREAT Novella and beautiful addition to the story. Colleen Hoover is quickly becoming my 2nd favorite author.

A nice insight to the side characters in the story. Curious to see what unfolds in the final books.

Being the hopeless romantics most people are, we all secretly hope that Prince Charming will one day come and sweep us off our feet. Hello, happily ever after. Oh come on, don’t deny it. Everyone dreams of it. Well wander not for here is a novella (which I was lucky to purchase for free on Amazon) which will make all the romantics swoooon endlessly. Well most of them.
Finding Cinderella is a novella involving two characters pulled together by an invisible string of who knows what making them feel an instant connection between them. I smell something fishy or in this case, I smell insta-love. Just ticked cliché number one.
Unlike some infuriating novels which tackle the same instant love situation, Finding Cinderella actually stands out. What made it really stand out and caused me to set aside the exasperating clichés is Colleen Hoover’s ability to intricately sew words together and form them into swoony sentences that will make readers’ hearts go thump thump thump leaving them with a contented siiiigh.
But you know what the problem is? Colleen Hoover may have been able to seize me with her sweet words and funny dialogues in Slammed and Point of Retreat but I’m afraid it doesn’t work for me that way now. I have matured and aged and with the additional years in my life, I have gained experience. Lots of them. And therefore, I am able to conclude that no two people are made perfect for each other. How is this relevant to the problem? Cliché number two. Well, Daniel and Six were way too perfect for each other making it borderline unrealistic. I get it, who wouldn’t want to have the man/woman of our dreams be impeccably incarnated for us, right? But admit it or not, no such thing exists. (Okay so maybe I'm a hopeless romantic with a cynical bone in my body. Or is it the other way around? Hmm. Just bear with me. Thanks.)
I don’t believe in love at first sight and Colleen is so good at writing such thing that I was once almost fooled into believing it. Lust at first sight? Yes, I might believe in that. But love? Hell to the no.
Colleen Hoover is such a great writer that even though I already knew prior to reading this novella that it will be teeming with clichés like her other novels, I couldn’t pass it up. I just couldn’t. I love the author. And I sure will still be reading all her upcoming novels. Goodness, I’m such a fan.
