Indy Zimmerman has a new stalker who won't leave her alone, no matter what she says to him. Never mind the fact that he's one of the most popular guys at school—she’s positive Bryant Bailey is only trying to appease his own conscience after pretty much destroying her life. But when Bryant doesn't back down and insists on having some sort of bizarre friendship with her, his Indy Zimmerman has a new stalker who won't leave her alone, no matter what she says to him. Never mind the fact that he's one of the most popular guys at school—she’s positive Bryant Bailey is only trying to appease his own conscience after pretty much destroying her life. But when Bryant doesn't back down and insists on having some sort of bizarre friendship with her, his magic works, and her walls slowly start to crumble.
He's not her type. She's never been into guys like Bryant, but then again, she's never really known anyone quite as stubborn, or caring, or who can get her to confess stuff she wouldn't even tell her best friend.“This is a Cinderella retelling unlike any you’ve ever read.

Unfortunately, the movie was better in my opinion.cringes.This book was VERY fast-paced. The plot wasn’t laid out as well as I had hoped, and it was confusing at times. In addition, the cover itself and the pages inside are very bad quality. The cover is just a blurry screenshot of the movie:(I liked the idea of the story, and have so much admiration for the author. I’m glad to have had a chance to read this book, it just wasn’t my cup of tea. MORE LIKE A RANT:DNF: 42%Gah!!!
Nope.This book is bad. It was around 10 in the evening and I was almost half in the book until I found myself laughing. Giggling like a lunatic, until I blurted out that I can't believe that I was actually reading such a horrible book.
I know right? I do sound batshit-crazy.When I saw the title of the book the 'Cinderella' part got me hooked. I love any Cinderella-esque story whether its a retelling of the fairytale in a fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian or in MORE LIKE A RANT:DNF: 42%Gah!!! Nope.This book is bad.

I love any Cinderella-esque story whether its a retelling of the fairytale in a fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian or in this book's case a contemporary setting. Then I read the blurb and then I was a goner. Yep, this is gonna be the book that'll put me right back on my reading track after a long hiatus.
Drama, high school, an average girl who's being chase by an uber-hot-dude. What's not to love?So I started reading.First two chapter. Okay, this is a fun read. Light, bubbly, teensy. Oh, so THAT'S how he ruin Indy's life? WTF??!Chapters 3-5. Dude you called that atoning for your mistake?
And sheesh Indy aren't you just feeling morbid a few minutes ago now all you could think about is kissing him? Then you turn from this angsty teen to a giggly-gushing one.And then next chapter, then the next.insert sarcasm. everything went downhill from here.The two characters swap death stories and now are feeling like they're bffs. They have this 'secret friendship' where they can't be seen together and because of the evil aunt and cousins they have to do things with total discreetness.getting my barf-bucket ready.Then there's this scene where she told Maxton, her guy-bestfriend about this whole enchilada that's going on and then bam. She founds out that her guy-bff assumes that they are boyfriend-girlfriend for almost a year now.
For almost a year, how weird that he hasn't mentioned it at all? What kind of topics do these two talk about when they're together?.hitting my head with the barf-bucket. So Indy was adamant to set things straight with Maxton, that she wasn't feeling him and she is a giggling-gaga over Bryant when. Out of the blue he kissed her.
And the she liked it, exactly how she like when she kissed Bryant less than fifteen pages ago.what a 'insert female degatory word'. Indy then goes telling all this to Bryant, they both decided to let Indy try this 'relationship' with Maxton while Bryant will be like her new bff. And while they're having this conversation they are also having this 'supposedly' sexual tension up against the classroom wall.This is where I decided to abandoned the book.I don't like how the author portrays the characters.
They're teens and they are entitled to reckless choices and decisions but this kind of love-play is not my cup of tea.There's a lot of my pet-peeves in this book:- insta-love- poor depiction of characters- waste of a good storyline- pulling a Bella Swan (a girl crazy over two guys and can't choose one)Maybe teens would find this book awesome, great, good or nice. But for me this book is horrible. I just can't, sorry.Respect my opinion and I'll respect yours.Rambling Reader.

When shreds of light come to the surface, Bryant finds the urge to protect Indy from her home life.no matter what the cost.I seriously felt for Indy.After reading this I watched the movie 'Not Cinderella's Type' and broke down crying during some of the scenes. This book is so touching and a must-read for anyone who loves fairytale retellings. The only reason this book got 2 stars instead of 1 is because the author can actually write. Unfortunately, what she wrote was just awful. This is by far, the worst retelling of Cinderella I have ever read.
It reads more like fan fiction than anything.The chick was soooooo abused by her stepmother, or aunt, I can't remember actually. And the Dude was just too knowledgable. He knows everything.

And the Dude was just too knowledgable. He knows everything. He immediately understands her situation, is able to make adult conclusions about life situations he knows nothing about. And the fact that he killed her cat was just so random it was almost funny which I don't think was intended.This is definitely a YA read for a very immature reader or for a hormonal teen who hates her stepmother and wants to commiserate. Free on KU so no big loss except for the half hour I put into it. One of my favorite tropes is renditions of classic stories and fairytales especially Cinderella.

Indy lives in the attic and has the bare minimum and is expected to earn her keep by working around the house.
Indy's mother died in a car accident and she never knew her father. All that Indy had left of her connection with her mother was her cat and even now that has gone thanks to a fellow classmate and jock Bryant. Bryant is the guy that is every girl's dream except Indy's as hello - he just killed her cat and the last piece she had connected to her mother. As the book goes along, we read as Bryant tries to befriend Indy and get in her good books. Indy tries to rebuff his friendship at every turn as to why would she want to be friends with a cat killer? During the book though we learn a bit more about Bryant and that he knows more than he is letting on about her mother's accident.
Also is Bryant and his Dad, the ones that will save Indy from her living arrangements? Bryant may not be Cinderella's type but maybe he will be Indy's type after all.

Or for that matter to find out that the author was all over the movie version like her book like Johnny Wiseau was all over The Room.Okay, in James’s case she only worked on the script in addition to the novel of Not Cinderella’s Type but it rang vanity project throughout the entire run of the movie, especially after reading the book and noticing that the most obnoxious lines were kept in. I mean, seriously do you think people are going to find lines like this charming:Indy, you’re wrong.
You think you’ve got the whole world sorted into little boxes, and when someone steps out of their box and does something you aren’t expecting, you try tour hardest to push them back in. Well, I don’t fit. I’m not meant to fit. Your walls are high and thick, but I’ll get through them somehow. Wait and see (22)Creeper much. This is the love interest ya’ll.
Well, the main one. Not the one who halfway appears and disappears in the book and randomly thinks he’s the MC’s boyfriend ’cause they’re friends ya know and that equals boyfriend. There’s much more to quote, but I’m too lazy to do so.Again, I should mention that said speaker is a pet murderer. Yes, I said murderer. He runs over the heroine’s cat in the movie. We see the poor thing get hit by a car within ten minutes of the fucking movie, and in the book its just gazed over.
Oh, in the movie he makes it all better because he buys her a new fucking kitten at the end.Do you really think buying someone a pet can replace their deceased one? It doesn’t work that way. I can attest to that personally. Because when I was ten and my beloved Penny Beagle got and quickly passed from cancer, my parents were pretty much freaked out when they saw how depressed I was (Penny was like the best dog ever) and they bought me a puppy (PJ).
PJ helped, but didn’t replace the hole or the dog I lost. She wasn’t a replacement pet by any means. And it really annoyed me how Cat Killer thought because he bought a kitten he was redeemed.God, what an asshole.
Watching/Reading this I couldn’t help but hate Bryant. First the actor with his bad Draco Malfoy dye job (sorry, boo it was hideous and I am having a shallow moment because its my review damn it) to complete the arrogance and mansplaining-oh yes, mansplaining-and then there was Book Bryant who was pretty much identical to Wannabe Draco except he was described as having dark hair.So in fairness to the actor, I don’t think it was his performance that turned me off. It was just Bryant.The other love interest was actually built up a bit better in the movie, believe it or not. It’s sad when a movie does more character exploration than the book.Really, sad.The MC was kind of meh. I couldn’t hate her too much for having a love triangle especially since the mansplainer and self dubbed knight in shining armor (though I’d call him a asshole in shining armor) pretty much told her to string love interest two who randomly thought they were dating because they were friends along.I justThen there was how the whole idiotic relatives were handled. James butchered the reporting thing to CPS big time. Also, if you know anything about CPS they wouldn’t have time to deal with a case like Indy’s because they are dealing with so much shit already.Also, I don’t think this would’ve been a mandatory reporting case.
There wasn’t an imminent threat of abuse or that abuse was going on right there and then. And then don’t get me started on how foster parents work. AndI need to breathe.This book is just a disaster. The only saving grace (besides the fact I paid nada for it) was that it was mercifully short. So short that I was sort of aghast when I saw how the author was charging for the book’s physical copy-though, with the cost of printing and everything I do admittedly understand it from her POV.Still though, 152 pages is hardly a novel.This one will mystify me for awhile. I didn’t totally hate the movie.
Like I said when I watched it, I thought something was off. It’s sort of like those really bland Christian movies. that they put on Netflixs that they try to act like they’re not Christian movies to sucker you in and make borderline offensive comments throughout the entire 90 minute torture and then in the last five minutes they some revolting comment about how God solves everything and God has a plan while causing something horrific to happen to the only decent member of the cast because he/she was full of sinYeah, it was like one of those demented movies but without the big lesson. Which was appreciated. But I can see what sort of adult the sanctimonious cat killer is going to become and I just want to Indy to run that she’s in danger. 1 starThe synopsis showed so much potential, but this book failed in so many aspects.

Her best friend Maxton seriously thought he was her boyfriend all this time and Indy didn’t know it?
And she didn’t set the record straight when she found out?! Bryant’s psychologist dad taking her case and becoming her foster parent seemed too convenient.8. And finally the naivete.how could Indy not know she was being mistreated by her aunt’s family?
She was living in a closet with just a bed! Almost DNF’d it midway, but I wanted to write this review, so I skimmed the last half.

I found myself routing for her to win at life and find her true identity. Great characters and fast moving story made this book hard to put down. Clean teen romance and lots of fun with no swearing. Looking forward to Jennie James next adventure.
This was a good retelling of Cinderella, set in modern times where she doesn't need a fairy godmother just social services.The main character is Indy a girl who like Cinderella is left with some relatives that don't particularly want her and mistreat her. It doesn't take a fairy godmother to save her just a good friend who has a dad that's willing to help.The most noteworthy secondary character is Bryant, the friend she inadvertently makes when he runs over her cat and forever feels guilty for This was a good retelling of Cinderella, set in modern times where she doesn't need a fairy godmother just social services.The main character is Indy a girl who like Cinderella is left with some relatives that don't particularly want her and mistreat her.

Okay, this book is really supper cute. It's geared more for way young adults but it's still really cute. The real life Cinderella story is actually believable in this day and age. I honestly can't see a high school boy letting a girl try dating someone else though, I'm still wrapping my head around that one.
However, it also shows how much he cares, loves, and want he to see how amazing he is in her own eyes and time.The main reason I gave it a three star was mostly for the errors. The errors we Okay, this book is really supper cute.

They're going to kiss a boy anyway, I know I did for crying out loud. I saw the movie and I thought: Yeah the film wasn't brilliant, but it had a certain potential.
Plus the book is always better than the screen version.So a gave the book a fair shot, but honestly it might have been even worse than the movie.The main character is just weird and you just can't emphasize with her. One second she's acting all 'I'm so strong, I don't need anyone' and the next minut she's like 'I'm so lonely. I wish I had a real family and friends.

At first is all stalkerish because he killed her cat and then he acts like a psychiatrist. And while that the main heroin thinks that he is just the Dream guy.All in all I have to give that book some credit for a nice idea, but nothing more.
I was quite disappointed. Not Cinderella's Type was one of the most amazing Cinderella books that I read.
The perfect one, with no magic and everything that I would love to read. I loved Byrant Bailey and I so hated Maxton. What sort of a guy does the things that he did? In other words, it was a complete hit on my heart - perfect with the threads of amazeness, and excitement. Yeah, it did get boring at a point, but I guess I can live with that. I still liked it too much to say bad about it. Knees on my elbowsTo start off there are some errors in this ebook.The story's 148 pages long it was a quick but In so many ways was it not.
I watched the movie first which is what made me want to read the book, and it kept some good parts but I think it also fixed some parts too.So much that happens to quickly between the two characters, and all these kisses and other kisses.It felt awkward reading the Bryant say everything he did leaving none of it for his father.Also many of the chapters Knees on my elbowsTo start off there are some errors in this ebook.The story's 148 pages long it was a quick but In so many ways was it not.

I found this book, Not Cinderella’s Type by Jenni James, by browsing Youtube for new movies that will come out in 2018, and I am so glad that I found the trailer. This book is an amazing insight to the mind of people that have lost something, or in this case someone, and shows that there are no boundaries for people that want to be friends.

The way that Jenni subtly incorporates the allusion of Cinderella into this realistic story blew my mind. Also, the symbolism of Indy’s, the main character, cat being her only way to connect to her mom really pulled at one of my heart strings. Especially because she couldn’t talk to her Aunt or Uncle about her mom’s car accident. However, the one thing that I didn’t like about the book was the setting of beginning because the book starts out a little bit confusing because Jenni just jumps right into her story without actually explaining any of the necessary detail that I need to be able to enjoy a book. The allusion that Jenni incorporates into her book was perfect. I expected another take on the fairytale CInderella with full force, but the book blends the reality of the story with the fairytale Cinderella. One of the points in the book that includes this allusion is “Now the question left is-what am I going to do with my little Cinderella?” The symbolism of Indy’s cat caught my eye because I would have never thought that a person could have that deep of a connection with an animal.
The cat symbolized her holding on to the ties that she had with her mother. One of the more obvious quotes that point out the symbolism with the cat is “Don’t get me wrong, they totally went out of their way to let me have the cat- of course I held onto Mrs. Wiggins so hard, I doubt anyone would have pried her out of my hands if they wanted to.” The one thing that I didn’t enjoy about this book was the beginning. The beginning starts out in a fast pace setting and as soon as you figure out what is going on, one character is being thrown at you.
Then, they have a conversation that makes no sense because you don’t have a clue what they are arguing about and you don’t know the history behind their relationship. The beginning shoves you into her life as assumes that you can keep up. An example of this is “If you want to make it up to me, go away. I need some time alone to process it, not to be reminded every five seconds.” “But I’ve apologized a hundred times. I had no idea it was there. I didn’t see it. It was an accident.
And every time I see you, I feel awful.”” Aside from that the book was phenomenal. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes and adaptation of the Cinderella story.
Some examples of the movies that are similar to this book are Another Cinderella Story, A Cinderella Story, A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song and any Hallmark movie that you can find. I love Cinderella and would love for anyone to read this. This book got me back into my love of romance novels and I’m never going back! Worse editing. Worst plot.I hate leaving books unfinished but this one is special.
I read about 40% according to my kindle when I just couldn’t take it anymore. The glaringly obvious inconsistencies really drove me crazy. Terrible editing. And in a book so short, it really is impossible to miss them.This is a Cinderella retelling. That’s half of your plot already laid out for you.
Yet there was no actual plot, nothing remotely interesting happened and Bryant Bailey is unrealistic Bad writing. Worse editing. Worst plot.I hate leaving books unfinished but this one is special.

That’s half of your plot already laid out for you. Yet there was no actual plot, nothing remotely interesting happened and Bryant Bailey is unrealistic and weird, unless the plan was for him to be a stalker not Prince Charming. The characters were one dimensional and hard to tell apart.
The dialogue was almost silly in most places and just downright stupid in others.The entire story is basically about the relationship between Indy and Bryant but it doesn’t even start at the beginning of their relationship. We don’t get to see them interact as almost-strangers at first, running into each other more and more until they slowly start to fall for each other. None of that happens.
We’re dropped in the middle of this relationship development (if there was any), watch the guy act like an obsessive stalker who’s desperate to be her boyfriend from basically page 1. We have no idea how this even came about except that at some point in time, he killed her cat by accident.
Then he became a crazy obsessive stalker and she agreed to be with him almost immediately.I didn’t have high expectations for this book. I started reading thinking I was in for mediocre writing and a somewhat decent fluffy romance which was basically going to be Cinderella with technology.

And the book still managed to disappoint me. This is definitely one of the lowest quality books I’ve ever read. I have read a few books in this style this year and one really stood out to me.
So I didn’t go in with any expectations.I liked Indy’s character and how she always sees things in more of a positive light then she should have.Bryant seemed to be a good guy but he fell a little flat for me in the “leading man” role and her best friend seemed cool then it almost felt like the author wanted to cause drama so then he ended up being in like the love triangle it was just a little weird.Then Bryant s I have read a few books in this style this year and one really stood out to me.

This was the part of the book I liked the most. It didn’t get dragged out it was exactly what I want from other books like this.The narration was really well done, and I liked that she sounded like a girl and not woman trying to be a girl. It just worked for the audio. I think if I have eye read this book I wouldn’t have even finished it.
But the narration really added to the atmosphere and tone of the book and so I stuck with it, I am glad I did solid 3 stars. Such a cheesy romance! I, for once, choose to read such a book and it is exactly what I expected: cheesy, a little unrealistic and the girl is clueless.
I've got to say I did enjoy the story even though it could have been better thought through. The story was predictable which is also something predictable as I already knew that it was a retelling of Cinderella and all retellings follow the exact same plots as the original one which makes them predictable even though I have heard of some retelli Such a cheesy romance!

The story was predictable which is also something predictable as I already knew that it was a retelling of Cinderella and all retellings follow the exact same plots as the original one which makes them predictable even though I have heard of some retellings that are so creatively done that does not feel like you are reading a version of such a well-known story.
This book was only 150 pages long which suited the story the author wanted to tell and how much time I wanted to dedicate to such a cheesy book. I'm not the cheesy type so I also consider this book humorous as I laughed at some of the character's lines or choices. I would recommend this book to anyone in need of an easy to read romance but doesn't have time for a lengthy book.
