Cinderella kann mich mal! by Cindi Madsen
4.0
4.5
Sometimes a sweet, fun romance story is needed. Cinderella Screwed Me Over definitely fits that description.
Darby used to be a hopeless romantic. Always envisioning "the one". After watching her parents go through a divorce when she was younger as well as many failed relationships over the years, Darby has given up the "happily ever after" and decided to avoid serious relationships. To help her keep on track with this she's categorized her past relationships into case studies using the fairy-tale princes as references. So far Darby has been doing well going on a year strong with her relationship resolve, that is until she meets Jake. Slowly she finds herself wanting to give up on all her rules and regulations, but she's determined to remain strong knowing the relationship would never last. Still, she can't seem to keep from running into Jake everywhere she goes.
I really liked this book. It's easy to see early one where Darby gets all her beliefs from. She's very insistent on her stance on relationships. She lets Jake know about them from the beginning. I liked that she didn't hide her fears of relationships only to throw it out there during a disagreement or something. The fact that Jake doesn't let Darby's rules dictate his feelings or actions makes him all the more appealing. When Darby kept trying to convince herself to stick with her rules the story started to get repetitive. Regardless, I could understand Darby's reasoning.
The "case study" ex-boyfriends were a really interesting way to do flashbacks of Darby's life over the years. All of them likening back to a Disney prince hence the reference in the title.
Overall, the book followed a standard formula for this kind of story. Regardless, it's still one that I can see myself reading multiple times.
