Finding Cinderella: A Novella (3) (Hopeless) Paperback – March 18, 2014

Very good reading!!! Gets kind of confusing how some of the stories are duplicated, feels like oh I have already read this book.

A cute little read. Quick & fun to follow along. We love when best friends love each others best friends!

I haven’t had a book make me cry in… maybe ever. So sweet. Young romance, gut wrenching love. Colleen writes so beautifully, she really makes you fall in love with her characters

Star Rating: ★★★☆☆Series Ratings:💜 Hopeless (#1): ★★★★☆❤️ Losing Hope (#2): ★★★☆☆💙 Finding Cinderella (#2.5): ★★★☆☆💛 All your perfects (#3): ★★★★★💜 Finding Perfect (#2.6): ★★★★☆ Overall Reading Experience & Impressions:“Finding Cinderella” was a fun, lighthearted addition to Colleen Hoover’s series. While it wasn’t particularly groundbreaking, it provided a fresh perspective and tied together loose ends from other books in a satisfying way. It’s not a standout read, but it’s an enjoyable companion novella for fans of the series.What Worked:✨ Fresh Perspective: I appreciated that this novella brought a new tone to the series, offering a lighter and sillier narrative compared to the heavier themes in other books.😂 Character Chemistry: The dynamic between the two main characters felt natural, and their shared history added depth to their interactions. The moments of humor, especially with the “videotaping” scene, brought some much-needed levity.📚 Series Connection: It was clever how Hoover tied this story back into the overarching series, making the connections between characters and their backstories clearer.What Didn’t Work:😕 Lack of Depth: As a novella, it understandably lacked the depth and emotional resonance of a full-length book. It felt more like an add-on rather than a fully realized story.🔄 Predictable Plot: While it was enjoyable, the plot twists were easy to see coming, which made the story feel a bit less engaging.Final Thoughts:“Finding Cinderella” is an okay book—not great, but not bad either. It’s a fun, quick read that fits well within the context of the series, but it’s not something I’d go out of my way to recommend on its own.Who Would I Recommend It To?📖 Fans of “All Your Perfects” and the rest of the series who want a bit more context about the characters’ backstories. This novella serves as a nice bridge between the books and is worth picking up if you’re invested in the series.

Love this book

I love this little Novella. I enjoyed how it started because it grabbed me from the first sentence and pulled me in for the entire story. As always with Colleen Hoover she makes you feel everything. While reading this, I felt like I was back in high school!

I've been waiting on Finding Cinderella for a while now. I loved Hopeless and really enjoyed Losing Hope so I couldn't wait to delve back into this world and see my old friends again. First of all I just want to say how amazing this novella is. Smaller stories are always so much harder to write well. Sometimes there's just not enough pages or enough going on for readers to connect with the characters like they can in a full length novel. Obviously that is not the case here, not only was I able to connect with Six and Daniel I was also very surprised that I was so invested in their story that I no longer cared that the story wasn't about Sky and Holder. Six and Daniel were just so engaging but of course Sky and Holder both make appearances which was just icing on the cake which already had really good icing.During Hopeless I never really gave it much thought when Daniel was talking to Holder about the girl he met in the close at school. It just never really registered with me until this story. Daniel was seeing that crazy mean girl (Was it Vicky? I'm not sure) and I never even suspected that the girl that he was with could have been Six but it makes so much sense. Daniel had so much more depth to him in Finding Cinderella than he did in Hopeless. With him being one of the two main characters you really get a good idea of who he truly is on the inside and he was so perfect for Six. Six is literally looking for the exact same thing that Daniel has always been looking for and when they met in a dark closet and pretended to be in love it was so very sweet and even more so when they met each other again and fell in love for real. Of course there's a bit of sadness too but just like with Hopeless Colleen Hoover handles it so well that it makes you care for both characters even more. There's nothing cliché about Six or Daniel, they're not your stereotypical teenagers and this isn't your stereotypical romance, they're not perfect which is why they're so very perfect for each other. I loved both of their sense of humor, I enjoyed Daniels parents quite a bit and also really liked how much Six hand changed. There's just so much going on in such a small book. It never really felt like a Novella to me, more like a quick novel : ) By the end of the novella I cared for them both just as much as I did Sky and Holder and it was so nice seeing where Sky and Holder are at now and how they are doing.I think I have to agree with Colleen Hoover about her publishers telling her she was nuts for giving this one away for free because I definitely would have paid for this book although I'm glad she did release it for free. It was a very fun and nice present to all of her fans and I for one really appreciate it. I haven't read all of her books yet which is something I plan to remedy soon. She's just such a great writer and she knows how to pull your emotions in twenty different directions. Her romance scenes are SUPER romantic: remember Holder and Sky's first non-kiss kiss? Her sad scenes require a bucket for all the tears: the revelation at the end of Hopeless and her fun scenes will have you smiling and laughing out loud like when Daniel and Six make their big escape from Six's house that first time. All in all pretty much a perfect Novella that stands on it's own just fine. I originally wanted to read it because I was hoping for more Sky and Holder but came away appreciating it for what it was: Daniel and Six's story. Do yourself a favor and grab this awesome gift from Colleen Hoover, you'll be glad that you did!

Pretty short book but very interesting. Couldn’t put book down once started. Had me laughing and shocked! Go read now!
