With Brian in the spotlight as an actor, and Ella feeling insecure about her handicap – the constantly under the spotlight relationship takes a toll on them and it’s a true test to see if they can make this work after all these years. It happened quite oddly and quite surprisingly, and that is when their relationship is truly tested. The second book, Happily Ever After, follows Ella and Brian as the last book ended – Ella and Brian meeting for the first time in person.

That is until he surprisingly gets a message from the online girl, Ella. In the midst of it all, to help promote the movie, he is forced to pretend to have a relationship with his co-star that he really can’t stand. His online crush has gone missing and he is miserable – he believes that she has died and is grieving. During this time, famous actor Brian Oliver is in the middle of giving the very same book Ella is obsessed with, life as a movie. Initially, during the first several months after the accident, Ella doesn’t have her computer and avoids going back to her online life. Now with her handicap, her mother dead and her new life with the dad that left her at a young age for her step-mom and two daughters, Ella has to learn how to manage this new life. Ella and her mom get into a crash Ella doesn’t remember much but it resulted in disfiguring her body and leaving her handicapped, and her mother dead. The book starts off with Ella going on her normal, every day life – showing that she talked to Cinder, had the blog, was a huge reader, loved her mom and had a pretty normal life. She has no clue who the guy is or where he is located, but there is some serious crushing going on both ends. During her time having the book review blog, she meets and crushes on a guy online who goes by Cinder. She writes a book review blog (like I do!) and is quite popular. my kind of story! The greater (or funnier) thing is that she is obsessed with a book with the characters named Cinder and Ella (who she was named after, I think). That’s what initially caught my interest! A fellow reader in a book as another version of Cinderella…. Ella Rodriguez is the main character – a girl obsessed with books. I’ve always enjoyed every version I’ve read/seen of Cinderella and this one certainly caught my eye. While surfing the Kindle app for some free book to read, late at night, I found Cinder & Ella by Kelly Oram.
