The
Cinderella Makeover was giving me The Swan flashbacks. Anyone remember
that horrible show? Well, the show in this book wasn't as extreme, but
the main them was still there: you're ugly and unlovable without the
proper makeover! Greg is known as the "camera-shy CEO" but then he signs
up for this reality show where he'll receive a makeover and win a
chance at love. One of the coaches is Francesca, who failed to get his
photo for a magazine spread, so she's a bit miffed at having to work
with him again. But then a bet with a rival coach drives them closer
together.
The Cinderella Makeover was definitely better than its
predecessor, but still not great. Greg and Francesca are certainly more
likeable, and the only part that really got on my nerves was the
inevitable fight near the end. It was cute to see Francesca help Greg
come out of his shell to help him win the competition (and her wager).
He's a classic geek to chic fairy tale! But when he finds out about the
bet, he understandable doesn't take it well. However, the bet was that
he would WIN. Francesca was helping him WIN. He wanted to WIN. She
wanted to WIN. What's the problem. He claims it's because she lied to
him, but she didn't. It was just drama for the sake of drama.
In the end, The Cinderella Makeover was quick and cute. Nothing special or particularly memorable.
