How to Survive a Modern-Day Fairy Tale
How to Survive a Modern-Day Fairy Tale | Elle Cruz
1 post | 1 read
Claire Ventura is nothing like the poised and perfect heroines she reads about in her favorite romance novels. She’s a quirky, people-pleasing bookworm with a loving yet obliviously intrusive family and a passion for cookie decorating—all rolled into a five-foot-two Filipina American fueled by chamomile tea. Then she meets Nate, billionaire CEO of a global tech company, the modern-day Prince Charming who sweeps her off her feet. Though he does his best to convince Claire that he’s genuinely head over heels for her, she knows he’ll soon realize she’s more underwhelming Plain Jane than jet-setting socialite. And once he meets her family, if their initial questioning doesn’t scare him off, then their tendency to decide “what’s best for her” certainly will. Between her whirlwind romance with Nate and her meddlesome family, Claire wishes she had a fairy godmother to guide her. But this is the real world in the twenty-first century, and the only way to get her happily ever after is by grabbing firm hold of what she really wants—and letting her heart be her guide.

Claire needed to grow a spine and stand up for herself. I get the author trying to show us different family dynamics, but Claire‘s sisters were able to live their own lives so it was really people pleasing Claire that was the problem here, she couldn‘t stand up to her aunt and sisters and live her own life. I didn‘t feel Claire‘s passion for wanting to start her own business. And her constant self doubt was exhausting. The romance was meh.
