Book Review - The Cinderella Deal by Jennifer Crusie
ABOUT THE BOOK
Daisy Flattery is a free spirit with a soft spot for strays and a weakness for a good story. Why else would she agree to the outrageous charade offered by her buttoned-down workaholic neighbor, Linc Blaise? The history professor needs to have a fiancée in order to capture his dream job, and Daisy is game to play the role. But something funny happens on their way to the altar that changes everything. Now, with the midnight hour approaching, will Daisy lose her prince, or will opposites not only attract but live happily ever after?
REVIEW
Daisy and Linc’s story is on the surface just another fluffy sweet romantic story. But Jennifer Crusie makes it so much more. The character growth of these characters is well done, and when it seems like the character growth has almost gone TOO far, it is acknowledged by the characters and pulled back in. The humor is crafted into the story to make it more of a lighthearted romantic comedy than a sappy romance novel.
