Rating: 3.5/5 
 ***Minor spoilers*** 
 Daniel spends 5th period hiding in a maintenance closet, since administration forgot to give him a fifth period class, and he doesn't want to be given one. One day when he's in his usual 5th period spot, a girl stumbles in crying, and ends up literally on top of him. Despite the strange circumstances and being unable to see each other in the dark closet, they bond over two meetings in the maintenance closet before the girl, who Daniel nicknames Cinderella, has to leave to move away. One year later, Daniel meets a girl named Six who he is immensely interested in, but she's apparently off-limits because she is Daniel's best friend Holder's girlfriend's best friend (whew). Despite being warned off, they become involved anyway, but what will happen when Daniel realizes Six may actually be Cinderella? 
 I liked this book a lot! It was short and sweet, and I liked Six's character in Hopeless. Despite not having read Losing Hope yet, there was nothing here I didn't understand. If I understand correctly, book 2 is just a retelling from Holder's point of view anyway. I thought the romance was interesting and unique in the way in was set up, what with Daniel and Six having met before, they just never saw each other's faces. They're quite the cute couple, and hopefully they make a cameo in one of Hoover's future books! 
 Overall, there isn't very much to say about this book (since it was so short) but I definitely enjoyed it. It wasn't amazing but it was cute, romantic, and humourous. I would definitely recommend you read it if you read Hopeless and you're looking for more, or even if you haven't, you can understand perfectly fine. This novella is available for free in the Kindle store so you have no excuse not to read it!
