I totally loved this retelling of Cinderella in present time because it was so unique and interesting but at the same it still had the same Cinderella story feel to it. With lots of twists and turns, I was definitely hanging onto every word and connecting the dots. The story of Elle and Darien was cute and charming and perfectly told of a romance in a modern setting. 
 I enjoyed the world of fandoms, movies, cosplayers, conventions, and the world of Starlight because while I know it isn't real, it felt like it was something I would be into, like Star Wars, or Doctor Who, and I would totally be into cosplaying and watching the re-imaging of a show turned into a movie. As someone who has been to a few anime conventions, and even cosplayed, I totally related with Elle on how important the movie remake, convention and cosplay was to the fans. 
 My favorite parts were the times when Darrien or Elle would stand up for themselves, were a tad bit braver, became a stronger person and the show/characters of Carmindor and Amara actually helped them by giving some rather good advice, with a little of the universe ands stars thrown in there. It was nice to see them be together in the end and everyone else got their happy ending, too (Sage and Cal, totally saw that coming). Elle finally learned that she was someone who mattered and that her parents will always be a part of her no matter where she is and she'll always have a home where she makes it, while Darrien stood up to his Dad and to be true to himself as a true geek and happy. Starlight is such an awesome life changing show that I wish was real. In the meantime: 
 Look to the stars. Aim. Ignite.
