This was such a fun take on Cinderella, and I loved the subtle changes. In particular, I liked that while the "stepmother" didn't quite completely understand Cindy and therefore wasn't always as supportive in the ways Cindy could have used, she was still trying her best to have a good relationship with her new daughter. I also loved how supportive Cindy's stepsisters were, and the really positive relationship the three girls had. The dating show setting was perfect for this story and it was so much fun! Highly recommend.

With a plus sized FMC and a reality TV dating show setting, unfortunately, discussions and judgment about body size and body image. Sexual content is only moderately detailed.

The dead parents and fat main character tropes felt a bit forced at points and the end felt a bit rushed, but otherwise a solid romantic novel.

I don't normally read this genre but this is easily one of my new favorite books. I LOVE Cindy! I love the way this book was written and the narrator (listened to the audiobook) is fabulous! I honestly didn't want to stop reading. The author makes you work for that ending though ... but man is it good.
