Cinderella Is Faking It by Dilan Dyer
4.0
This book made me feel shit and had my heart in its clutches. (HE BOUGHT HER A PORSCHE!!!!)
When I first started the book and understood the premise of it/the characters' goals etc, I thought it would be similar to the movie How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. I was so excited and you know I loved it.
The character's had so much personality and were so easy to connect with, and the writing was immaculate. The mental health rep was honestly so spot on this author did amazing. I loved both characters and the OC so fucking much and this world was so cute.
Delilah's character was so amazing ugh. I loved her curiosity and her communication. She was so easy to love and understand and honestly I could read endlessly in her POV. Beck's character- I was SWOONING. I need more of him. His personality was honestly so there and real and he was so fine- o.m.g. He understood and cared for Delilah so freaking well. One unbelievable thing is that he is 38 though. Not a chance 😭😂.
I absolutely loved the research aspect to do with the BDSM and honestly, why do I feel like I learned so much??? I feel like this is what Ana and Christian should have done (LOL)- Fifty Shades of Grey ref. Also, I feel like we need more of this in BDSM books- scenarios where safe words are said and like he's normal about it and is nice and shit idk, but I love it because it shows actual love and pateince. Like Delilah needed her own pace and Beck REALLY gave her that which convinced me about them and had me sold.
The Cordelia and Victor snippets were everything. And the way Victor calls Cordelia and Delilah his family- I'm gonna cry.
When it came to the conflict, I was like wowzaz'ed away. Firstly, (view spoiler). Secondly, although it was random, I feel like it was less random than Twisted Love's one 💀 because at least it had relation to business and not like some vendetta shit which confused me as to whether it's contemporary or dark romance. Also, (view spoiler) Overall it was not what I was expecting. I kind of thought it would be like the movie I mentioned above where they both discovered they were tricking each other simultaneously, then would argue but if I'm being honest, Beck is above that arguing shit, but it would have been cool.
Also there was barely any like guilt of tricking each other. Or like gradual build-up, as it usually occurs.
I think the third act break up went on for too fucking long. And 100 pages should have been more than enough for it but like fine. I feel like that conflict etc is what brought the book down because I honestly was loving it so fucking much.
One of the cutest couples ever, nevertheless.
Official Rating: 3.75-4 stars.
