Ella is a witty sort of "anti fairy tale, " In this book the main characters name is Cindy Ella, which is a very ironic name for this teen, She lives with two stepsisters and an overly Botoxed stepmother, her father is always working and never home, However, unlike the real Cinderella, her blended family is trying to get her to the ball, but Cindy is NOT going for it, she has sent in a letter to the school newspaper that isagainst prom.
Has she committed social suicide, or has she caught the attention of her prince charming


Text to World:
CindyElla is a story about a teenage protester with strong opinions who is strongly against prom, believing that it put too much stress on girls, and that it was held for all of the wrong reasons, making girls want to live up to their stereotypes of sex symbols.
In todays society some girls do feel as if they have to dress and act a certain way to be accepted, and now there are girls who are standing up to make a change in some places around the world.

The book was not that bad to be honest, in Wrap Up Vlog
sitelink be/KmxfYERfP OMG! This is the coolest retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale that I've ever read! I am now officially a fan of Robin Palmer, and I'm going to buy and read her other books! Yeah, yeah, I need to calm down! Ok, deep sigh, I admit I decided to read this because I was hoping it'll make me happy after readng a horrible one.
And now, I'm happy to say that this book really made my day and has erased all my memories of the horrible book I was talking about earlier.
I'm not going to mention the title of that horrible book because I'm too kind to ruin any reputation, and let's just code it as the "horrible one".
LOL!
Anyway, I really fell in love with this book even though I find it so cheesy at first, I had to think like a fifteen year old girl anticipating for prom or rather someone who doesn't like proms and fairy tales but somehow she acually does.
And I like the fact that this book was written and publishedyears ago and some of the character names were from the nineties, even the romantic movies and TV series mentioned.
I love Cindy Ella, her wit, guts, intelligence and clumsiness, She's so funny I laughed in each of her super embarrassing moments! I love her unique and supportive friends, Malcom and India, I even like her stepmother and step sisters, they are not bad at all, Of course, I love Adam, her prince charming! LOL! He's sweet and "different", you'll know what I mean once you read it,

Yes, you're right, I'm giving this bookstars, because I enjoyed it so much that I finished it in two and a half hours, I'm also putting it in my favorite shelf! I recommend it to everyone who wants to have a good laugh and relieve their past teenage craziness, i mean adventures! LOL! i really liked that i related a lot to the character in here.
because there arent a lot of books out with characters like this,
i didnt like how she ended up going on a date and brought her little brother along, that was kind of annoying,
liked how their names were kind of fairytaleish, amphow the guy behind the emails tied in with the guy she liked,

I recommended this book to my sister earlier this year, and I thought of what I remembered from the book, I've been meaning to add this for months, and I thought I hadn't reviewed this yet, so I was surprised that I had written a little about this before.

I remember the MC saying that the better looking a guy is, the more nervous she is,
And how she takes lil cousin/brother on her date, I thought it may have been done because she was shy, and it would have taken a little attention off her, and would have been a distraction on her date.

And how the emails from a secret admirer turned out to be the guy,
There was a moment where she admired him walking in late to class, because if she was late to class, shed be embarrassed amp would be blushing/spend few minutes in mortification after.
I wondered if the author herself was shy, because that's a hard detail to get right if you're not that way yourself,
I like story lines like this where the secret admirer turns out to be the guy, like the movie A Cinderella Story, Very cute. I'd like to read this soon because I don't remember a whole lot about it, Actually the story was sort of cute but the language, insincere prayers to God, homosexual best friend and completely shallow way of life make it inappropriate for a Christian school library.
There were movie recommendations for inappropriate movies and Cindy Ellen's tutor is gay and has a committed relationship with another gay man, There are no redeeming values to be found and there are so many more really good books for teens to read, It might provide an eyeopening perspective for some parents who want to know how the rich and shallow think, This was the most superficial book I have ever read, It was all based upon looks andprom dresses, Nothing to write home about and nothing to recommend, The last two books I've read have been duds, maybe I'll read Twilight again to make me happy,

Moral Note: Says OMG a ton, the "B" word, and a few others, No sexual stuff but kissing, Her best friend is gay, and others so there is stuff about that in it, I would say this just didnt age well, but it is hard for me t believe most of this was even acceptable in,

The main character is way too “not like other girls” for me, She is constantly putting down all of the other female characters in this book and judging them for caring about their appearance and prom and such, She honestly also puts down the male characters as well just not as much,

The main character is also a total hypocrite, She judges everyone else for wanting to go to prom and for going to prom, However, it is clear the main character is just mad about prom because she isnt going and doesnt think anyone will ask her, In the end, when the main character goes on a date with the hero, she dresses up as if she was going to prom and cares about her dress, hair, and makeup.
The same things she has been making fun of everyone else for caring about,

In the end, when the hero reveals he likes the main character, he likes her because she is, “just so different” from other girls he knows.
That is basically the whole love story, The main character talks about how she isnt like other girls and does things other girls wouldnt do, She has minimal interactions with the love interest, he

just ends up liking her because she isnt like other girls,

Trigger warning for all kinds of racist, homophobic, sexist, examples from the book and examples of harmful stereotypes,

This book is full of offhanded harmful stereotypes of all kinds and veiled racist and sexist comments,

These instances are not even few and far between, they permeate the entire story and when they are not as bold and staring the reader right in the face the aurora of racism, sexism, and homophobia linger as it influences the characters every move.




For example, in response to the main character, who is presumably very thin, eating french fries, one of her best friends says “You know, if anyone saw the way you ate, theyd definitely think you were a purger.
” Page.

In another instance in reference to her coworker at a yoga studio, the main character comments about how the coworker used to be kind of cute until he started getting into spiritualism.
She then comments, “After that, he wasnt so cute, Well, he was if you liked guys who had dreadlocks down the middle of their back and didnt believe in deodorant, ” Page.

There is also just general slutshaming, The main character calls another classmate the “biggest hoochie hoodrat” and also the “meanest hoochie hoodrat, ” Page.

In response to something terrible happening to one of the characters, another character tells her not to go into the bathroom and hurt themselves, Page.

In some places, the blatant lines were on every page, The author almost adds the problematic lines as a joke or for shock value,

On page, the main characters stepmom almost hits a “legless man in a wheelchair” in a crosswalk,

On page, the main character compares “trophy wives” shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue to “Muslims making pilgrimages to Mecca, ”

On Page, the main character compares her stepmom as being as confused as the Japanese tourists over at the Chanel counter,

Some of the most pervasive problematic elements come from the discussion and portrayal of gay characters,

The main character initially has a crush on her collegeage SAT tutor, She starts to wonder if the reason he doesnt like her is because he is gay, Also, one of the main characters best friends is gay, and he thinks the tutor is gay too,

The tutor ends up in fact being gay, the problem is the way he is portrayed, The main character starts to think he may be gay because he says he is “trying to lay off the carbs for a while, ” This is a red flag to the main character because her abovementioned gay friend says this all the time, The tutor ends up ordering french fries and the main characters internal monologue thinks “if he was really gay, he wouldve had more willpower, ” Pagesand.
The main character also mentions she may be “scarred for life, ” From having a crush on a gay man, Page.

When the main character finds out the tutor used to date women until his junior year of college she feels justified in having a crush on him because she wasnt completely off the mark in liking him because he had only been gay for four years and she was probably still picking up on some of his leftover “straight energy.
” Page.
There are so many more examples,
