Cinder & Ella
by Kelly Oram
Absolutely loved it!!
I absolutely loved this story!!! Ella and Cinder/Brian are fantastic! We get to see so much growth for them while also seeing and feeling them stay true to themselves. They both have to grow in different ways and there are definitely some growing pains. Ella has been on a horrific accident and is in the middle of her long road to full recovery. She will never be the same and she has to come to grips with what that means moving forward. She is soo strong and is dealing with bullies due to her burn scars and doing her best to survive and not antagonize the situation more. She is also thrown into a completely new environment with people that pretty much strangers and they feel hostile at that. Her one person that she has left is her internet friend, who is her best friend. And she hasn’t had that since her accident until she finally reached back out. There connection is truly the best support system for both of them. They both are completely themselves, their normal selves with each other. Brian is famous and he knows that most, if not all, the people around him are not his real friends. He puts on a persona with all of them because he doesn’t feel like he can be himself. Ella coming back into his life, awakens his heart again and he is ready to make some of those harder decisions in order to be more himself to the world but every time he tries he gets blocked. I loved watching these two come into their own and figuring out how to be together. I loved the secondary characters as well and I am sooo glad there is a second book as I want more of Ella and Brian actually getting to be together.
