My Rating: ♥♥♥♥
This novella is a companion novel to the Hopeless series, but can be read as a standalone.
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 comes with 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. Daniel soon realizes the way he pretended to feel about Cinderella and the way he really feels about Six may not be so different after all. Especially when the two loves of his life end up being one in the same.
Unfortunately for Daniel, finding Cinderella doesn’t guarantee their happily ever after…it only further threatens it.
My Thoughts
Maybe she can be like Cinderella and I’ll be her Prince Charming.
Yeah, I like that fantasy better.

To be honest.. I haven't read any books from this author. Please. Don't kill me. I know I'm missing out big time here. lol. But I saw this on amazon as freebie, I recognized the author (I mean.. Who doesn't?) and the title is catchy so as a ebook hoarder, I couldn't pass this off.
She dips her spoon into her ice cream, then puts the spoon back in her
mouth.
I can’t stop staring at that spoon. I think I love that spoon.
I thought this was like your good old cliche Cinderella love story but I was wrong. I was a little confused when I started reading this. Since *cough!* I haven't read the series, I didn't know that Daniel is the best friend of Holder (Hero from the first book). Though I heard so much rave about Holder being one of the best book boyfriend.. But other than that? I have really no idea who's Holder or Sky. Yes. I know. Once again, I'm missing out big time!
“Shit, Holder,” I groan, running my palms down my face.
“Why the hell
did you have to go and do that? You just made her off-limits, man.”
I wasn't totally lost with the story as this book is all about Daniel and Six. But I'll be honest, I wasn't emotionally invested. It would have been great if it was longer to see and feel more characters development. But hey, maybe that's just me since I haven't read the whole series yet.
“We all have deal-breakers, Daniel. Some of us just hope we can keep them hidden forever.”
Overall this was a fun, sexy witty read! I love Daniel. Now I'm going to the author's page and put Hoover and Losing Hope in my TBR list. :)

I love music. LOVE music. Namely The Avett Brothers, Lumineers, Pink, Eminem. I have eclectic taste? If you have any recommendations, send them my way!
I'm addicted to diet pepsi and could tell you in a taste-test which restaurant it came from. It's a serious addiction, I tell you.
I get stoked whenever I get a message from goodreads saying I have a new friend request...so request me, dangit!
