 Love a good Cinderella story? Then you need to pick up this book.  Cindy is a plus sized wonder who loves shoes but has not had it easy since her father died.  There is no wicked stepmother in this story.  In Fact the Stepmother is pretty awesome.  There are a few issues between her and Cindy, but they are made more by Cindy, or by stepmom not wanting to treat her plus sized stepdaughter any differently than her own children.  And I love the step sisters. They are true sisters any girl would love to have.  But every Cindy needs a prince, and she thinks she finds him on a plane from NYC to LA.  Boy is she in for a surprise when she finds this same prince is the new bachelor in a TV Dating show.  The same show in which she will be the first ever plus size contestant.  This story takes us through the show’s production and after to the consequences.  It was a laugh riot.  And I am very happy to see that I am not the only person that has said “Moo, Bitch, MOO!” to some person calling me a cow.  Loved everything about this book.  It’s fluff, but it’s happy-go-lucky fluff.
