Synopsis:
This novella is a companion novel to the Hopeless series, but can be read as a standalone.

A chance encounter in the dark leads eighteen-year-old Daniel and the girl who stumbles across him to profess their love for each other. But this love comes with conditions: they agree it will only last one hour and it will only be make-believe.

When their hour is up and the girl rushes off like Cinderella, Daniel tries to convince himself that what happened between them only seemed perfect because they were pretending it was perfect. Moments like that with girls like her don’t happen outside of fairytales.

One year and one bad relationship later, his disbelief in insta-love is stripped away the day he meets Six: a girl with a strange name and an even stranger personality. Daniel soon realizes the way he pretended to feel about Cinderella and the way he really feels about Six may not be so different after all. Especially when the two loves of his life end up being one in the same.

Unfortunately for Daniel, finding Cinderella doesn’t guarantee their happily ever after…it only further threatens it.

My Review:
I have found that with many authors, it seems the more they write, the least interesting their books become, however, it is exactly the opposite with Colleen Hoover. The more that I read from her, the more I cannot live without her writing! I CRAVE MORE! Hoover has such a phenomenal gift in writing that I can't imagine her doing anything else! With each book that I read, I cannot believe the feelings that Hoover stirs up within me! Someone else said it perfectly..."I felt more in reading 100 pages of this novella than I have felt reading many other entire books!"

At first, I was quite skeptical on a book about Daniel. He was the odd cookie, that didn't necessarily appeal to me in the other books. Boy, did he shine in his own story! Who knew he could be such a romantic? Hoover has found her niche in being able to create the perfect characters that say and do all the right things! And it was good to learn more about the real Daniel and Six, where we only saw small bits and pieces of them in the books before!

You can't get any better with this story! There are not enough words of greatness to describe any of Hoover's books, Finding Cinderella included! At the end of all of Hoover's books, I find myself sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next book to be released, and this book was no different! This was such a quick and easy read that I couldn't help but want to savor!

Hoover has figured out what it takes to write a successful book, and adds all of the right touches to make each and every book she writes, the perfect book, and Finding Cinderella is no exception! I certainly hope that there is more to this story, because I just have to know more!
