It was funny at times, and had some emotional punch, all at the exact right timing to keep the story going and me interested. Seeing Cinderella was a quick read for me, I read it all in two sittings, and enjoyed it. I also grew to like Stacy more than I thought I would. I figured it out before the reveal (as with quite a few things in this book) but it didn't diminish my enjoyment. Ana is one that I really enjoyed and wondered what was going on with her. There was always something going on and I appreciated the drama class, the teachers, Callie's mom, and the fleshed out secondary characters. She goes through quite a bit of character growth throughout the novel as well as discovering a lot about other people and the way they think as well as discovering how she thinks and feels about things without censoring herself through her best friend. Callie is awkward and on this side of nerdy, which helped me to relate with her, being quiet but sometimes seen as stuck up is something that I feel could be a part of my life's story, so even though Callie is a little younger than my usual protagonist, I had no problem connecting with her. Books about being able to know what others are thinking has always intrigued me and it sounded like a cute read that had the potential for some depth. I don't read a whole lot of middle grade, but to be honest when I read the synopsis, I didn't know it was, I knew I liked the premise though.
