erin_oriordan_is_reading_again's review against another edition
4.0
A charming, if not particularly substantial, contemporary retelling of the old European fairy tale, complete with glass-heeled slippers. As I mentioned in a previous note, my expectations of Latina chick lit are based on the incredibly high bar set by the amazing Marta Acosta's Casa Dracula series. Casa Dracula has it all: the romance, the danger, the fashion, the completely lovable heroine wrapped up in comedy of manners, a genre that has never before seemed so appealing. Berta Platas has the charming heroine in Cynthia (Cyn) Lopez, Cuban-American personal assistant to her Argentine-born stepsisters, twin vjs on a fictionalized version of MTV. Her "prince" is Puerto Rican Eric Sandoval, the new owner of the music station. I rooted for hard-working Cyn to get her happy ending, but the novel didn't quite fit me like a glass slipper. It's a fun book, though.

I liked it! Good characters, good plot (a little predictable, but it is Cinderella after all), and very good font. Funny and well-written, although I probably wouldn't read it again.
