Welcome to Litsy!

This story had me in tears a few times. Ella has so many struggles to overcome and it made the ending incredibly sweet and beautiful. Loved the witty banter with Cinder. I waited too long to read this, but I‘m glad I finally did. All the feels = all the stars. ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1. Two of my seven closest friends (people I hang out with regularly) I met in middle school. So I‘ve known them around 27-28 years
2. Aboard the Carnival Vista. Sunset at sea is so pretty.
3. Food smells. Things baking, a grill. They usually mean family gatherings
4. Tagged. Really enjoyed it.
5. Hi Littens 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾

Excuse the excited incoherent babbling

When you accidentally read until 1:30 in the morning. 😯

Light, easy read with a modern day twist on the classic novel. It‘s a little bit of a retelling, but also missing many of the stereotypical elements. Ella is not a servant in her own home, her father is alive, her stepmom is nice, and her two sisters are not completely evil. Just discovered there‘s a sequel. #Book15of2018

This was my first read from this author and I found it to be a solid, cute and well written story.
Solid characterization throughout the book, even down to the mean kids and their antics, which let me say I really despised a few, Oram has created, although predictable, a very good book with some very likable characters.

Merry Christmas too all!
Have a great, safe, and happy time

This just wasn‘t for me. The female protagonist‘s voice didn‘t ring true and the male protagonist was the worst. I almost bailed close to the beginning with a gross scene between the high school senior girl and her 28-year-old physical therapist. Ew.

Fell in love and out of a reading slump with this one. This is one goes in my "reread" pile! ❤ I didn't realize how much I love the secret identity trope! Please send me recs! Book 2 is amazing too ?? #romantsy #contemporaryromance #secretidentity #againstallodds

Super charming and fun Cinderella-inspired YA Hollywood romance, and it's on sale! The sequel is out TODAY and I can't wait to read it!

I'm a sucker for a good fairy tale retelling. This took me a couple chapters to get into and then bam! All the feels. Plus I'm using it for #betterworldbookschallenge (based on a fairy tale) and also #MtTBRChallenge

Too dark to read my print book on the way home (and I'm so close to being done) so good thing I had my trusty nook along too!

This book hit me so hard. I was expecting it to be just a cute fluffy romance. But it had so much depth to it. It was so real. It made me think about disability, choice, family, knowing your limits, respecting others' views. It was amazing. ❤️
