CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Schoolgirl Cinderella by Priya Narendran
Priya is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Schoolgirl Cinderella. This story is a bit of a modern-day Cinderella story, with Briony Duke as our leading lady. Her parents are killed in a car accident when she is ten, and her guardian is set to be an old friend of her fathers, who is not a good person. Mrs. Eyres treats Briony terribly, forcing her to cook and clean for her and her daughter Lucy, who is just as mean-spirited. But Briony tries not to let them beat her, and at seventeen even thinks she finds love with the wealthy Tom Logan. But Mrs. Eyres is set on Lucy nabbing Tom, and is prepared to fight Briony to make sure her daughter lands the eligible bachelor.
I will say that the style Schoolgirl Cinderella is written in through me off at times, but I was actually really invested in the story. It was a cute read and I was constantly intrigued on what Briony was going to do and what her next action would be. Sometimes I couldn’t quite tell what the time period the book was supposed to take place in and there were a few inconsistencies, but I still give it 4 stars because I really enjoyed the story.
