#1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover writes a free 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 only last one hour and it will only be make-believe.
When their hour is up and the girl rushes off like Cinderella, Daniel tries to convince himself that what happened between them only seemed perfect because they were pretending it was perfect. Moments like that with girls like her don't happen outside of fairytales.
One year and one bad relationship later, his disbelief in insta-love is stripped away the day he meets Six: a girl with a strange name and an even stranger personality. But Daniel soon realizes that fairytales don't exist, and unfortunately for Daniel, finding Cinderella doesn't guarantee their happily ever after...it only further threatens it.
I loved Finding Cinderella until I didn't anymore. Which made me sad, since the previous two books are complete disasters and this one had so much potential! I found Daniel's "best sex" story really interesting in Losing Hope, so I'm glad this was a continuation of that conversation. Daniel had been hanging out in the janitor's closet during fifth period when a mystery girl stumbles in. They make out and part ways without ever exchanges names. A week later, she shows up again, they have meaningful conversation, and decided to pretend to have meaningful sex since neither of them every has and worry it will never happen. Again they part ways, and it's not until a year later when they're finally reunited, even if they don't know it right away.
The interactions between Daniel and Six are adorable! I absolutely loved them together! They don't play games, they joke around, and are completely honest. It's what great relationships are made of! Finding Cinderella was really cute until the author decided to cram in some issues and drama. It was like a neon elephant came crashing through my window: random and unwelcome. Not every story needs that level of dramatics, especially when it's only 100 pages and almost over. Of course, their issue is really a non-issue since nothing can even be done about it, and they live happily ever after despite it.
