Finding Cinderella: A Novella: Volume 3 (Hopeless) Paperback – 18 March 2014

Really amazing book

FIRST AND FOREMOST! While I really like this novella, there’s one thing about it that bothers me so freaking much that I’m almost temped to shun it.We have two protagonists, Daniel and Six (that’s a nickname. Her real name is Seven). They meet, feel an intense connection, start falling for each other, but Six has a secret that could change everything… blah, blah, blah… You know, the usual Colleen Hoover stuff. That’s not what bothers me. I mean, it kinda bothers me that she uses the ‘big, dark, secret’ trope in basically every single book, but that’s not the point here.Six has some issues. The novel isn’t from her perspective but we can still tell. Anyway, because of that she frequently refers to herself as a slut. Because she was, a year ago, someone who had sex with six different guys in little over a year. Now I know she’s in highschool and she was seventeen at the time and six different guys is a lot for her. Still, it’s was in over a year! But again, I get self-hatred. It doesn’t always makes sense. Hell, it almost never makes sense. The real problem is that when Daniel tries to comfort her, he doesn’t say that it’s her choice to sleep with whomever she wants and that it doesn’t make her a slut. He tells her it doesn’t matter what she did in the past and that she’s not that person anymore.It pisses me off so much because he’s basically telling her that while she’s not a slut, she used to be. And what makes it worse is that Daniel is a great guy. He’s funny, he’s caring , he’s goofy and he’s honest. What he says makes so friggin' sense because that’s not like him. So I’m blaming Colleen Hoover. It’s going to be a while before I even consider reading anything by her again.Rant over. Now for the reason I really like this novella. It’s funny. I know that’s not supposed to be a big deal but, for me, the fact that the conversations in the novella were fun is important. All the interactions, not just between Six and Daniel, were funny, in a sweet and heartwarming way. They endeared you to the characters, who I really like. And they kept the novel light, for the most part. I’m pretty sure this novella has more humour that four of Colleen Hoover’s novels combined.Daniel’s narrative definitely helped. I wasn’t kidding when I said that Daniel’s a great guy. I really like him. And the writing was obviously good, which is one thing you can rely on with the Colleen Hoover.Overall, this was a really sweet and enjoyable read. If it weren’t for that really infuriating thing I mentioned above and the fact that Six and Daniel’s relationship got a little too intense a little too fast, this would have been an easy five stars. I’m kinda bummed out that it isn’t. Also, I’m still mad. I mean, all she had to write was that it didn’t matter how many guys Six slept with, or that Daniel’s probably had sex with plenty of girls too and no one was calling him a slut but… ugh! I don’t want to start another rant so I’m just gonna stop.

I DID NOT like the ending at all. Why does Colleen Hoover has to go and smack reality right on my face?!!! I'd have been so much happier with a fairytale ending with everything perfect in the end!.The third installment in the Hopeless series, Hoover picks up the story of both Sky's and Holder's best friend. I really loved Daniel's character. And his chemistry with the love of his life. I loved the twist... if only in the end we got a perfect family together with kids!.My rating: 3/5(1 star deducted because I absolutely hated the ending)

I loved every bit of it.It’s from Daniel‘s point of view. Who doesn’t like novellas of side character. It’s a must read

lovely

I like everything that Hoover writes...

Awesome book.. Dose who love romance genre should try dis one out
