The Cinderella Plot by Pepper Basham

The Cinderella Plot is a lovely book by Pepper Basham. I loved how Paisley and Chris discover what really matters in life, faith, family and each others friendship. Iwas thrilled that Ms. Basham wove her typical Basham Banter through the book, with refernces to many books and movies. I worked in a public school for 10 years and believe that the author clearly captured the day to day lives of teenagers with all of the ups and downs that go along with growing up. This is a sweet story that I feel all young women struggling with self image and fitting in should read. Well done Ms. Basham! My advice is that young women should set up a book club and enjoy the book together. I was given a copy of the Cinderella Plot by the author with no expectations. All thoughts are my own. From AmazonPaisley Harper is invisible. Not in a superpower way. More like the people-look-right-through-you-in-the-hallway kind of way. She’s the girl with the oversized cardigan, random book knowledge, and the uncanny ability to tutor the school’s star quarterback without actually being seen as anything more than helpful. Meanwhile, her aunt and uncle’s beloved small-town bookstore is under threat from a shiny corporate chain, her best friend keeps giving her looks that feel suspiciously loaded, and Homecoming is looming like a glittery reminder that senior year is running out…and she’s never been kissed. Enter The Cinderella Plot—a wildly popular self-help book promising total transformation in five easy steps. New hair. New confidence. New life. Maybe even… a date. With nothing to lose (except her dignity), Paisley decides to follow the plan. Because if fairy tales have taught her anything, it’s that invisible girls don’t get happy endings unless they change something first. But as Paisley starts stepping into the spotlight, she has to ask herself an important question: What if being seen comes at the cost of being herself? Full of heart, humor, bookish charm, and small-town magic, The Cinderella Plot is a romcom about friendship, first love, faith, and discovering that sometimes the greatest transformation isn’t becoming someone new—it’s realizing you were worthy all along. ** CLEAN YA Rom-Com Fiction you can read without skipping a page ** About the author:
