Cinder and Ella

Ay me ha gustado mucho este libro vamos que solo me ha durado un par de dias es un libro sencillo pero muy emotivo este retelling de la cenicienta la verdad que no me lo esperaba para nada asi y hasta me ha hecho emocionarme y soltar alguna que otra lagrimay Ella y Cinder que puedo decir han sido todo amor

Usando a linguagem de fics: 99% angst e 1% comfortEstava na dúvida se eu dava 4 estrelas ou 3,5 pq a escrita é boa, envolvente e transmite sentimentos com precisão, mas, por mais que fosse boa, não é o MEU estilo de leitura; mas é o primeiro livro que eu recomendaria para quem não se incomoda em ler angst. Eu, mesmo sabendo do que se tratava o livro, comprei esperando aquele romance contos de fadas (porque foi isso que achei que fosse quando vi o título), mas a autora se inspirou mais na parte em que as princesas sofrem antes de conhecerem seus príncipes (sério, a Ella sofreu muito mais do que todas as princesas em todos os contos, passados e futuro, jamais sofrerão). Então, fui recebida por gatilhos vindo de todos os lados e eu estava totalmente desarmada (tanto que essa foi a primeira vez que eu choro no meio da estação - tipo, choro que deixa teu olho vermelho depois), então já deixo de aviso ⚠️ pra quem quiser ler. TRIGGER WARNING: Bullying, su*cidio, acidentes, morte, família abusiva e só migalhas de romance confortante.

When I saw the title, I figured that this would be a re-telling of the story of Cinderella. Now I am a big fan of all things fairytale, (one of my favorite shows on television is Once Upon a Time) especially modern day fairy tales with a twist. I don’t generally rely on reviews to determine if I should read a book, but seeing that this author is fairly new to me I changed my modus operandi. The reviews I read indicated that this was a good read so I took the plunge and I was glad I did.This is a beautiful story of love, acceptance and healing. Be prepared to be taken on an emotional roller coaster ride that will likely stay with you for few a days. It’s funny and entertaining. It had me LOL, smiling, crying and angry. I was especially angered when Ella’s stepsister treated her like a pariah. The tears were as a result of the degradation she suffered at the hands of her peers.What I loved most about this book is the interaction between Cinder aka Brian Oliver and Ella. Their banter was fun. The fact that they never met added to the mystery of their relationship. Here are two persons who have been communicating by internet and IM for three years and were able to develop a friendship that would prove to be as enduring as time. This friendship grew into love that would be life changing for both Cinder and Ella.Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a wonderful read. The characters, the plot and the writing were delightful. Cinder and Ella provides die-hearted readers like me with the perfect tools to escape reality, even if it’s just a temporary fix. If you love the concept of happily ever after and that of being swept off your feet by prince charming, then Cinder and Ella would the perfect read for you.NB: I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
