Was this the best book there is? No. Was it the most original? Not a chance. Was it incredibly cheesy? Of course. But did I love every second? You bet I did!
It was probably one of the cutest contemporaries I have ever read!
Cinder & Ella started off a little darker than I was expecting but it has quickly turned into the exact type of cheesy, cutesy contemp that makes me feel giddy and want to read over and over when I need a good smile.

Fangirleo extremo con este libro. No es broma, me lo leí de una sentada porque no podía dejarlo. No tenía idea de que era lo que mi corazoncito lector necesitaba hasta que lo empecé.
No es perfecto, no me gusta que siempre los personajes femeninos malvados caigan en el mismo cliché, pero bueno, se lo perdono por todo lo que me hizo sentir.
El amor de Brian y Ella fue demasiado dulce y tierno, me sacó sonrisas y hasta mariposas en el estomago. No son muchos los libros que han logrado eso. Brian es lo más tierno, me encanta que fuera así. Que no cayera en ninguna estupidez ni nada así, era digno de Ella sin duda alguna.
Ahora, tiendo no leer libros con el nivel de drama que este tenía, porque puf. Me sacó muchas lagrimas, no podía creer que estaba llorando solo porque se puso a cocina. En serio. Era absurdo. Empaticé con Ella de inmediato y entendí su ira. Yo hubiera reaccionado mucho peor, por eso me gustó cuando se nos mostraba el otro lado. El por qué de las reacciones de ciertas personas hacia ella. No las perdonaba, pero me daba algo de perspectiva.
Algo raro, quizá culpa de la traducción, era que decían que Ella tenía parte chilena y luego hablaban de comida mexicana. Típico de gente de USA que cree que toda Latinoamérica es México

Ich dachte am Anfang: "Ein gutes zwischendurch Kitsch Buch", aber dann war ich erstaunt es hatte Tiefgang und sprach sehr gute Themen an. Zwischenzeitlich mochte ich Ella allerdings nicht so. Sie ist manchmal ein bisschen anstregend. Es ist aufjeden fall empfehlenswert zu lesen wer Liebes Romane mit mehr Sinn mag.......Kitschig war es trozdem.
Loved it! Some parts were kind of 'meh' but it was an enjoyable read all throughout!
Me encantó, fue demasiado adictivo. Muero por leer la historia corta de Brian pero aún no la han traducido y creo que ya no lo harán.

When I saw the title, I figured that this would be a re-telling of the story of Cinderella. Now I am a big fan of all things fairytale, (one of my favorite shows on television is Once Upon a Time) especially modern day fairy tales with a twist. I don’t generally rely on reviews to determine if I should read a book, but seeing that this author is fairly new to me I changed my modus operandi. The reviews I read indicated that this was a good read so I took the plunge and I was glad I did.
This is a beautiful story of love, acceptance and healing. Be prepared to be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride that will likely stay with you for few a days. It’s funny and entertaining. It had me LOL, smiling, crying and angry. I was especially angered when Ella’s stepsister treated her like a pariah. The tears were as a result of the degradation she suffered at the hands of her peers.
What I loved most about this book is the interaction between Cinder aka Brian Oliver and Ella. Their banter was fun. The fact that they never met added to the mystery of their relationship. Here are two persons who have been communicating by internet and IM for three years and were able to develop a friendship that would prove to be as enduring as time. This friendship grew into love that would be life changing for both Cinder and Ella.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a wonderful read. The characters, the plot and the writing were delightful. Cinder and Ella provides die-hearted readers like me with the perfect tools to escape reality, even if it’s just a temporary fix. If you love the concept of happily ever after and that of being swept off your feet by prince charming, then Cinder and Ella would the perfect read for you.
NB: I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
