What would you do
if your anonymous Internet best friend turned out to be Hollywood’s hottest
celebrity?
Cinder458: Your blogaversary is
coming up, right?
EllaTheRealHero: Do all those Hollywood friends of yours know you use words like blogaversary?
Cinder458: Of course not. I need your address. Got you a blogaversary present.

Cinder got me a gift?
My heart flipped.
Not that I was in love with my Internet best friend or anything. That would be utterly ridiculous. The boy was cocky and stubborn and argued with everything I said just to be infuriating. He also had lots of money, dated models—which meant he had to be hot—and was a closet book nerd.
Funny, rich, hot, confident, book lover. Definitely not my type. Nope. Not at all.

It’s been almost a
year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her
crippled, scarred, and without a mother. After a very difficult recovery, she’s
been uprooted across the country and forced into the custody of a father that
abandoned her when she was a young child. If Ella wants to escape her father’s
home and her awful new stepfamily, she must convince her doctors that she’s
capable, both physically and emotionally, of living on her own. The problem is,
she’s not ready yet. The only way she can think of to start healing is by
reconnecting with the one person left in the world who’s ever meant anything to
her—her anonymous Internet best friend, Cinder.

Cinder & Ella
is a sweet, wholesome young adult/new adult contemporary romance. It is a
predictable but enjoyable quick read. I like this take on the Cinderella fairy
tale, where the prince is a secret nerd and he and Cinderella bond over their
mutual love of fantasy novels and movies. Ella is half-Hispanic, independent
and strong young woman. Their spirited online interactions were believable .
I liked that the
characters where not one-dimensional or black and white, but more complex. The
author presented two sides to every character, even the seemingly villainous
ones.
