I didn't plan to read this book and I didn't even read its synopsis I just downloaded it so, when I started reading... mind as well finished it right? well, for me there's nothing really interesting bout this book and what kept me going was the reason that I just wanted to know Doan's secret and when I finally knew... my initial reaction was just "ok. so, that's it??!" but as a whole it was really ok the idea and all the characters were ok and the other readers might just find it amazing! Male and female protagonists meet under unfortunate circumstances; female finds male attractive but hates his guts; female is inevitably won over by male’s persistence and charm. This book, on the whole, is pretty formulaic, with the obligatory complications, uncertainties and teenage angst involved. Even so, I was moderately entertained. The only minor grouse I have is Holly’s refusal to put aside her prejudices and her righteous indignation over Doan’s flawed behavior at their first meeting and her repeated visits to this issue soon became a tedious mantra. To be fair to her, she did move on after a while, but a little while too late.
What do You think about Cinderella Steals Home (2000)?
The story felt too superficial + lacked any depth.
