Personally, I Blame My Fairy Godmother by Claudia Carroll

It was lovely how they had their own tracks and how they grew as characters. Jessie's stepsisters, Maggie and Sharon, are the ones who really undergo transformations. The first 100 pages were hard to get through, but eventually it caught my interest and I was set. How Jessie deals with all of this sudden loss is quite engrossing. So she has to go home to live with her stepmother and two step sisters. Due to a live, on air mistake, all of a sudden she has nothing. She's got a fantastic job on TV, she's got a gorgeous man who's nuts for her, and she's living the high life (while she freaks out over credit card bills). In this book, I loved Cinderella less, and her step family more! This ia a hilarious modern retelling, where the 'nasty' step-family stole the show. I love the story of Cinderella and most girls do too. I liked too how Claudia Carroll twisted Cindarella's story.Ģ.5 stars, rounding up because the novel saved my sanity a few times in the last days -) And although Steve was the kind of beta-hero I love, he appeared not enough times. Moreover, I appreciated how went family dynamics - but I was little interested. The first part, the downfall, was too long. Nonetheless, almost all the time 'it was only ok'. It was an interesting chick-lit with a bit of romance. I don't know, but I want to do this disclaimer. So perhaps, the way I read it influenced my impression. There was not much time for reading, just a few pages on the playground, a few pages on the beach, etc. I had chosen it for my time as a nanny of my nieces.

Love.I think I did finish it only because I was 'condemned to' this book.
