Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover (Hopeless series #3)

 My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“I think if a person is really, truly in love then it has to be unconditional.” Colleen Hoover, Finding Cinderella

Finding Cinderella is about Daniel (Holder's best friend) and Six (Sky's best friend). Even though we are both familiar with them already from the first two books, they finally get their own little story in a separate book. The story written in a funny tone with lot of romance of course. It is a short book so you can finish it in a day or two. 

You fall in love with Daniel just as much as you fell in love with Holder in the previous books 😊 His character, his jokes and nicknames are just too cute to be ignored. He is searching for his Cinderella, who he met in a dark locker room and had some amazing moment with that unknown girl. After a while (after Six returns from Italy from the student exchange program) they meet again in Sky's room, but of course they don't know who the other person is. Anyways the chemistry works magically between them and they fall in love with each other immediately. The cute and sweet teenage love makes you smile through the whole book. When Daniel finally figures out that his lost Cinderella is actually Six, she reacts unexpectedly. Instead of getting excited and happy about finding each other she bursts out crying. Around the end of the book Six finally reveals her secret: she got pregnant from Daniel in the locker room before she went to Italy. In Italy she gave birth to a baby boy and put him up on adoption. Daniel needs a bit of time to deal with the news, but in the end everything turns out just fine. Also they learn about Sky's adoption story and the book (the whole series) ends with all four of them making a pinky promise, that all these secrets will stay between them.

Even though I was suspecting since the beginning that Six will be Cinderella, the end of the book (the pregnancy) really made me surprise. And this is what Colleen Hoover is so good in (one of many of her talents): putting twists in a book and just surprise you with these unexpected events. The book was a bit lighter read after the first 2 book of the series, since there she describes more serious topics. This part of the series takes you back into your teenage years and teenage loves and all the craziness around it.

“That’s exactly what this feels like. Like she’s a drug I’ve become immediately addicted to but I have none in supply.” ― Colleen Hoover, Finding Cinderella
