23 out of 101: Cinderella Lopez

From BarnesandNoble.com:

Fifteen-year-old Cynthia Lopez made a promise to her dying father: she will live with her two stepsisters, Ami and Lila, until she turns 25, at which point she'll inherit his large estate. Now, nine years later, twenty-four-year-old Cyn is counting down the days to that fateful birthday. At first, living with Ami and Lila had been fun, even exciting at times. Two of New York’s hottest It-Girls, they know all the right people, own all the right things, and go to all the right parties. Sensible Cyn used to be content hiding in the shadows of her larger-than-life sisters. Now, Cyn is finally wising up and realizing that she is no longer stepsister to the starsshe is personal assistant/slave to the stars (or Las Diablas, as the Latin press likes to call them). And, when Prince Charming enters, Cyn must go head-to-head with her truly wicked stepsisters in order to win back her father’s fortune, her perfect man, and, most importantly, her life. “A fairytale for today's woman who wants her Cinderella to be smart, tenacious and with ganas . . . not to mention with a great pair of shoes! Charming, hilarious and at times surprising, you can't put this one down."—Mary Castillo, author of Hot Tamara


I enjoyed this book more than I initally thought I would. When I grabbed this book off of my bookshelf I wanted a chick-lit book, something light and that would be a fast, easy read. It certainly did the trick. I thought the book was pretty good, and I enjoyed the fact that it was Latina chick-lit. My only complaint is that the ended left me a little disapointed. I think that it could have ended in a way that would have been a bit more satisfying to the reader.
