When Simone’s father starts dating a wicked woman and whisks her off to Italy, Simone is forced to spend her summer living with her brother and his college roommates. In Wicked Jealous, Simone is labeled as a “fat girl” until she starts losing weight at her Zumba class and gains the attention of her long-time crush Jason. It was cute and fun, but extremely predictable and not as original as some of Palmer’s other retellings. Cindy Ella follows the formula of most modern Cinderella stories, which I why it’s only a three star read for me. In Cindy Ella, Cindy writes an anti-prom article in her school paper and is ostracized by her classmates… except for a mysterious boy she’s instant messaging. I didn’t like either of Sophie’s love interests, especially the bad boy. I rarely rate books as one star, but I couldn’t give this book a higher rating. I’m sad to say that I could barely finish this book. When Sophie visits her grandmother, she finally meets a bad boy, but it doesn’t go as she planned. Sophie wants to shed her good girl image and be more like her favorite romance novel character. In Little Miss Red, Sophie is a “good girl” with a boyfriend everyone in her family loves, except her. Here is my countdown of Robin Palmer’s modern fairy tales from least favorite to favorite: Once I finally read through these books, I definitely had mixed feelings on a few. The covers were cute and I was super into fairy tale retellings. I remember when I first saw these books in the stores, I was super excited. Today, I’ll be counting down four of her fairy tale inspired books. Robin Palmer has written several fairy tale inspired books as well as the Lucy B.
