The lovely Heather from Fire and Ice, sent me this book to read and review as part of her ARC tours.
Description: Sixteen-year-old Jess Parker survives by staying invisible. After nine schools in ten years, she’s come to terms with life as a perpetual new girl, neither popular nor outcast. At Mt. Sterling High, Jess gets the chance of a lifetime: an invitation to join The Cinderella Society, a secret club of the most popular girls in school, where makeovers are the first order of official business. But there’s more to being a Cindy than just reinventing yourself from the outside, a concept lost on Jess as she dives tiara-first into creating a hot new look.
With a date with her popular crush and a chance to finally fit in, Jess’s life seems to be a perfect fairy tale. That is until the Wickeds–led by Jess’s archenemy–begin targeting innocent girls in their war against the Cindys, and Jess discovers her new sisterhood is about much more than who rules Mt. Sterling High School. It’s a centuries-old battle of good vs. evil, and the Cindys need Jess on special assignment. But when the mission threatens to destroy her new dream life, Jess is forced to choose between this dream realized and honoring the Sisterhood. What’s a girl to do when the glass slipper fits, but she doesn’t want to wear it anymore?
Review: I unfortunatly have to admit I wasn’t all that keen on this book. I really wanted to read it, I love and always have loved the Cinderella story but this just didn’t cut it for me. I did like it and I am glad I read it but it wasn’t what I was expecting. Maybe I was a bit too old, I don’t feel it but maybe I am. I think this would be great for teenager girls, it covers a lot of good points and would help with teenage insecurities.
Jess is a likeable character she hates her school, doesn’t fit in, has no friends and has a crush on someone she would normally never have. She received a gorgeous invite, inviting her to a secret society. She’s suspicious as she should be, but turns out she needn’t be.
The Cindys are a perfect group of girls who are kind, generous and are the popular kids. However there is another group The Wickeds. Who will win good or evil. Who will prevail.
If you are a teenage girl, this is a must read.
