Summer '17 Book 22

Cinderella.com by River Laurent

First of all, I would never have purchased this for myself. It's fluff, and has far more sex in it than I would like. I like things with a bit more substance, even if they are aimed at a younger audience. This, however, was in my June Lit-Cube, so I felt I needed to read it. (Which reminds me I still have a mermaid book from last summer to read)

Ok, Cass is our protagonist. She lives in Chicago. Her father is in hospice care, and she has gotten herself into debt with loan sharks to pay for his care. She has two jobs already, and it looking for a third to pay the bills. Her friend, Jesse, confesses to her that some time back, she signed Cass up on a site called Cinderella.com, which finds lookalikes of famous people. The lookalike fills in for the famous person and gets paid for it.

In this case, Cass looks like Tamara Honeywell, a Paris Hilton type person who is famous for pretty much nothing, but has made a sex tape. She's also into drugs and alcohol. She is being sent to Montana for a month to work on a ranch, but feels that is beneath her, so she hires Cass. Cass will make $30,000 for her time.

So, Cass goes to Montana. She finds she can't quite be the bitch Tamara is, and ultimately falls in love with Lars, a ranch hand. On the last day of her assignment, there is a masquerade ball, which is when Tamara comes back to show she's learned things on the ranch. Like I said, Tamara is a bitch, so her plan is to get Lars to sleep with her because she knows it will hurt Cass.

It's a Cinderella story, so you have a good idea how it ends.

Again, not really my thing. Also, they should have hired someone to edit this before publishing. There were a lot of misspellings and errors throughout the book. I mean she kept using pin as a place for animals, and it irritated me every time I had to read that.

So, if you like Cinderella stories and need a fluffy, fast read, this is for you.
