Some parts of this book were really enjoyable and some parts were slightly cringey and overdone. In the end the enjoyment won out. 
 The basis of this story obviously isn't groundbreaking stuff, you've probably read a million other stories like it before but that doesn't matter, I don't think it needs to be completely original, to be good. Ashley Poston has managed to put a really geeky, fun twist on a classic tale. She made her characters relatable and easy to like. Despite knowing how things were going to play out, I didn't find myself bored at any point, it kept me hooked the whole way through and I rooted for Elle and Darien the whole way (normally I hate famous guy, normal girl storylines as well but it worked in this) 
 My only big criticism is that I wish the evil step-mother had been a more subtle, realistic type of horrible, rather than verging on straight up child abuse. 
 I think a lot of people are really going to like this book and I'd strongly recommend checking it out.
