Description

This printed edition includes exclusive new material—a new epilogue and an essay written by the author. From the 1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and It Ends with Us, a novella about the search for happily ever after. 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 has conditions: they agree it will last only one hour, and it will be only make-believe. When their hour is up and the girl rushes off like Cinderella, Daniel tries to convince himself that what happened between them seemed perfect only because they were pretending it was. Moments like that happen only in fairy tales. One year and one bad relationship later, his disbelief in love-at-first-sight is stripped away the day he meets Six: a girl with a strange name and an even stranger personality. Unfortunately for Daniel, finding true love doesn’t guarantee a happily ever after . . . it only further threatens it. Will an unbearable secret from the past jeopardize Daniel and Six’s only chance at saving each other? Read more

  • A perfect novella packed with so much heart and emotion!
105 pages of pure brilliance, packed with so much heart, humor and emotion that it left me desperately wanting more. It made me laugh, it made me cry… I felt every. single. moment. This novella is true perfection. Pure gold. I loved every word, every page and felt every moment of this amazing novella. I don’t know how Colleen Hoover does it! How adeptly she imbued so much heart into about 100 pages is beyond me. She managed to make me feel so deeply, so very quickly, instantly gripping me with her unique, endearing characters. I honestly can’t think of another author that can pull me in as quickly and completely as she can with her books. Her relatable, demotic writing style delivers an emotional punch, sometimes when you least expect it. All in all, it really is a stellar achievement. This novella’s protagonists are Daniel and Six. For all of you Hopeless fans, you’ll recall that Daniel is Holder’s best friend while Six is Sky’s best friend. They are both quirky and funny, both misfits of sorts with a ton of personality. The story begins with a fated, chance encounter that would indelibly mark them… a destined happenstance charged with an emotional, soul-deep connection they had never felt before. “In the course of five seconds we go from extremely awkward to kind of comfortable, like we do this all the time and I realize in this moment that we just became so much more together than we could ever possibly be alone.” Without spoiling the plot, I’ll just say that they are pulled apart by the very fateful forces which pushed them together. In the end, this is a beautiful, heartfelt story about two kindred spirits finding their way to each other, falling in love with the only person they could ever truly love. The dialogue is sharp, funny and ingenious, making me laugh and grin throughout. There were also moments brimming with emotion and heartbreak that evoked some unexpected tears. Again, Colleen Hoover’s ability to infuse that level and range of emotion in a novella is a true testament to her masterful writing. Holder and Sky appear in the story, making me feel so very happy to see them again, especially through another person’s perspective. I loved seeing more of Daniel and Holder’s close relationship too. “You’re my best friend and I love you. I’m not ashamed to admit that I love a guy. I love you, Holder. Daniel Wesley loves Dean Holder. Always and forever.” Finding Cinderella is an amazing complement to one of my favorite all-time series, filling a space I didn’t know existed… didn’t know I needed. This three-book series is perfection. “It feels sort of euphoric, like we’re in some sort of fairy tale. Like she’s Tinkerbell and I’m Peter Pan. No, wait. I don’t want to be Peter Pan. Maybe she can be like Cinderella and I’ll be her Prince Charming.” ... show more

  • sweet & fun
Enjoyed this short story with its surprise twists . While it was a short read , it still had good character qualities with typical High school vibes that come off as being authentically age appropriate… I’d recommend this as far as a short light read with interesting plot twist and a few emotional hiccups to enjoy ! ... show more

  • S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R!!!!! Pure perfection Colleen-Hoover-style!
"I've never believed in anything like I believe in the possibility of the two of us." Oh my God, can this woman write a bad book just for kicks? No, this is not just a novella, it is not just a little add-on story to an already stellar series, and this is definitely not a re-hash of anything we've already seen in Hopeless or Losing Hope - this is the story that fills all the little gaps we never even knew needed filling and it is the story that makes us fall in love with the two secondary characters as much as we loved Holder and Sky. It is also a testament to the fact that Colleen Hoover doesn't need 400 pages to make you feel with every crevice of your heart and that when it comes to telling a story through witty but emotionally-charged dialogues or creating loveable, engaging characters, she is unrivalled. I knew this story would be great but I never even imagined a novella could be this spectacular. "I don't even know your phone number," I say. "I don't even know your birthday," she says. "You're the worst girlfriend I've ever had." We met Daniel and Six in previous instalments of the series as Holder and Sky's best friends, two outspoken, sarcastic, but fiercely loyal individuals who supported their best friends through thick and thin, and now we get to see them in the limelight. By knowing all the other characters and the main storyline in such detail, no time is wasted on introductions or setups of scenes - we get to immediately zoom into their story and enjoy the ride. "How do you make love to someone you aren't in love with?" I lean forward until my mouth is next to her ear. "We pretend." I refuse to spoil any of their story for you, however, not because of its length, but because I knew very little going in and I am grateful for that as not knowing what to expect was half the fun in this case. I will only tell you that their tale starts with one fated encounter that forever changes who they are and what they hope to find in life. The rest of their story is a delightful account of a boy and a girl falling head over heels for one another, and learning what love is through that experience. Their captivating personalities and the amusing dialogues between them drive the story forward and keep us engrossed page after page. "Are you a witch? ... I have no idea who you even are and now you're my damn girlfriend. What the hell have you done to me?" This is a book that had me laughing out loud, constantly catching myself smiling like a fool, and even had me shed a few heart-clenching tears at times. My emotions were all over the place because every word meant something, every scene counted, and every sentence struck the right chord. If you've loved Hopeless and Losing Hope as desperately as I have, I have no doubt that you will adore Six and Daniel's beautiful story. They say you can't improve on perfection - I guess Ms Hoover just did. While this story could be read as a standalone novella, I personally would not recommend doing so without first reading the other two books in the series as it follows a parallel timeline and some knowledge of events and other characters would enhance the overall reading experience. "Stop! Stop saying things that make me grin like an idiot. My face has been hurting since the second I met you." ... show more
