'Cinderella Girl' is a modern take on a classic story and I think that it has been portrayed in a very well manner. Briony plays the modern-day-Cinderella and is taunted by her stepmother, Mrs. Eyres, and her daughter as they're taking revenge on her because her father had fired Mrs. Eyres before he'd passed away. Briony's life became a living hell until she met a charming young bachelor, Tom. This book is quite engaging and had me hooked onto it. Although the fairytale touch found in the classic hasn't been removed from this adaptation, there are certain unexpected twists that are sure to leave you longing for the next chapter. The plot twist was captivating and not the same as in the classic. All in all, it was a very impressive book and I would recommend it to anybody who likes unique, modern twists added to timeless classics.
