A modern, reimagined Cinderella story.
When aspiring author Charlotte Kingsley finally gets published, she thinks all her dreams have come true. But the trouble begins when her publicity firm reinvents her quirky online presence into a perfectly curated dream life. Gone are the days of sweatpant posts and ice cream binges with her best friend, Anders, replaced instead with beautiful clothes, orchestrated selfies, and no boyfriend. Only, that carefully curated fairy tale life is ruining her self-esteem and making her feel like a fraud.
When a bestselling author takes Charlotte under her wing—almost like a fairy godmother—she helps Charlotte see the beautiful person she already is and the worth of being authentic. But is it too late to save her relationship with Anders? The clock is quickly ticking towards midnight, and Charlotte must decide between her fairy tale life and the man she loves, before he's gone forever.
Opening line:
""If fairy godmothers existed, there would never be an empty space in the freezer where the ice cream goes.""
What a great way to start the book! Julie Wright is witty, smart and a fantastic creator of characters. She knows how to pull in the reader, make them laugh, cry and swoon, all in one book.
The main character, Lettie, is funny and hopeful and a writer. Her best friend, Anders, is a drool worthy Swede, who lives just down the hall. They both support each other as they each pursue their dreams. Dreams can come true, they just don't always come true in the way the characters wanted, which of course means, they have conflict, and discussions, and sassy times.
Thanks to netgalley for the early read!
