<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When Charlotte Kingsley's first book is published, she is convinced she is living her own Cinderella story. But when her popularity and fame requires a total social media makeover of her life, she starts to wonder if she likes the person she is becoming.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>A modern, reimagined Cinderella story.</i> <p/> When aspiring author Charlotte Kingsley finally gets published, she thinks all her dreams have come true. But the trouble begins when her publicity firm reinvents her quirky online presence into a perfectly curated dream life. Gone are the days of sweatpant posts and ice cream binges with her best friend, Anders, replaced instead with beautiful clothes, orchestrated selfies, and no boyfriend. Only, that carefully curated fairy tale life is ruining her self-esteem and making her feel like a fraud. <p/> When a bestselling author takes Charlotte under her wing--almost like a fairy godmother--she helps Charlotte see the beautiful person she already is and the worth of being authentic. But is it too late to save her relationship with Anders? The clock is quickly ticking towards midnight, and Charlotte must decide between her fairy tale life and the man she loves, before he's gone forever. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Aspiring author Charlotte 'Lettie' Kingsley writes fairy tales and hopes to be published. When she gets one more rejection, her feelings of pique lead her to an inspired idea: She'll write a self-help book called The Cinderella Fiction that will encourage readers to live their best lives. Lettie's agent has big plans for the book and has created a team to make it a bestseller, including a PR firm that demands a complete makeover for Lettie. From wardrobe to apartment to a new nickname, 'Char, ' every detail is changed to create an image that inspires admiration and a legion of followers. However, it also means that her real-life relationships are affected, and the new Char is so different from the old Lettie that she'll have to sift through what she wanted, and what she's gained, so she can live her own best life, authentically. Wright updates 'Cinderella' with a modern twist and smart, satisfying details."-- "Kirkus"<br><br>"Wright spins a modern-day and very meta Cinderella tale. This fast-paced, lighthearted romance also carries a moral lesson about falsehoods getting in the way of the quest for true happiness."-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"This sweet, heartfelt tale of authentic characters facing intriguing challenges is at once very romantic and charmingly chaste."-- "Booklist, starred review" (9/15/2019 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Julie Wright wrote her first book when she was fifteen, and has since written twenty-three novels. She has a husband, three kids, a dog, and a varying amount of fish, frogs, and salamanders (depending on attrition). She loves writing, reading, traveling, speaking at schools, hiking, playing with her kids, and watching her husband make dinner.
