This was a super fun modern retelling of the Cinderella story! The changes to the story felt believable and only added to the story for me. My fave change was
the step family being nice to Cindy and supportive of her.
I was surprised at the storyline of a reality dating show being the plot but it makes so much sense and I ended up really loving it. Cindy being plus size was a great change and I loved how it was woven into the story and showed a lot of the issues of being plus size in the modern world. I personally loved that she took the job interview at the end instead of going back to the reality show. She needed to bet on herself instead of hoping to get picked by Henry. I am glad they got together still in the end as well, I love a HEA!
