Loved the light modern retelling of a fashionista Cinderella ( ) Yet another twisty, light retelling of Cinderella, this time with a plus-size protagonist, Cindy, who unexpectedly becomes a contestant – along with her two beloved (not evil) step-sisters – in a reality dating show created by her stepmother, Erica. Cindy is a recent graduate of fashion school who finally confronted her feelings about her father’s death during her senior year of high school nearly four years later while a senior in college. This emotional reckoning causes her to have designer’s block and she barely graduates. Then, lacking any job prospects because of her poor performance and lacking any creative inspiration, she returns to her stepmother’s house in California, her two stepsisters and three half-sibling triplets. A lot of the story was predictable, but it was nevertheless an appreciated light and enjoyable rom-com, and a fresh take on a much-retold tale. 4 stars on the merits 3 stars for my personal experience reading it So this is the first in a series of books that are loosely based on Disney Movie/Princess. This is a retelling of the Cinderella story and if you are familiar at all with the Disney movie you’ll recognize a lot of the links to it within this. The modern twist is that our Cinderella is plus sized and stepdaughter to the executive producer of a mega-popular Bachelor type TV show. Cindy unexpectedly becomes a contestant on the show and is shocked to learn that she had a flirtation with “The Suitor” on the plane on the flight to LA before filming began. The good news is the stepmother and sisters are not evil! The bad news is that I recently read a book about a plus sized Bachelorette contestant so the plot that should have felt new to me felt rehashed — but that’s not this book’s fault. It’s a perfectly nice wholesome romance with a few modern flourishes. As a fan of both the old animated movies and romance novels I liked this but didn’t fully love it - but that’s because of me not the book. I’m sure I’ll read the next in the series because it’s about Belle and it’s written by Jasmine Guillory. Cute! I love a good fairy tale retelling and this retelling of Cinderella didn't disappoint. I appreciated the spin of having kind and caring stepmother and step sisters. I really loved that this book was very body positive and made the main character plus sized and loving her body! Cindy had a great personality, was fun and witty, and was very relatable. I loved that Henry's character never once made a comment about Cindy's size and even got irritated when others did.

"If the Shoe Fits encompasses everything I love about rom-coms. I laughed, I swooned, I smiled. Another hit for Julie Murphy!" ??Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Hopeless If the shoe doesn't fit, maybe it's time to design your own. Cindy loves shoes. A well-placed bow or a chic stacked heel is her form of self-expression. As a fashion-obsessed plus-size woman, she can never find designer clothes that work on her body, but a special pair of shoes always fits just right. With a shiny new design degree but no job in sight, Cindy moves back in with her stepmother, Erica Tremaine, the executive producer of the world's biggest dating reality show. When a contestant on Before Midnight bows out at the last minute, Cindy is thrust into the spotlight. Showcasing her killer shoe collection on network TV seems like a great way to jump-start her career. And, while she's at it, why not go on a few lavish dates with an eligible suitor? But being the first and only fat contestant on Before Midnight turns her into a viral sensation??and a body-positivity icon??overnight. Even harder to believe? She can actually see herself falling for this Prince Charming. To make it to the end, despite the fans, the haters, and a house full of fellow contestants she's not sure she can trust, Cindy will have to take a leap of faith and hope her heels?? and her heart??don't break in the process. Best-selling author Julie Murphy's reimagining of a beloved fairy tale is an enchanting story of self-love and believing in the happy ending each and every one No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
