It’s been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother. After a very difficult recovery, she’s been uprooted across the country and forced into the custody of a father that abandoned her when she was a young child. If Ella wants to escape her father’s home and her awful new stepfamily, she must convince her doctors that she’s capable, both physically and emotionally, of living on her own. The problem is, she’s not ready yet. The only way she can think of to start healing is by reconnecting with the one person left in the world who’s ever meant anything to her—her anonymous Internet best friend, Cinder.

Hollywood sensation Brian Oliver has a reputation for being trouble. There’s major buzz around his performance in his upcoming film The Druid Prince, but his management team says he won’t make the transition from teen heartthrob to serious A-list actor unless he can prove he’s left his wild days behind and become a mature adult. In order to douse the flames on Brian’s bad-boy reputation, his management stages a fake engagement for him to his co-star Kaylee. Brian isn’t thrilled with the arrangement—or his fake fiancée—but decides he’ll suffer through it if it means he’ll get an Oscar nomination. Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes everything.

My Thoughts:
This is the second book I've read by Kelly Oram. Her book If We Were a Movie was fantastic. I wasn't surprised in the least that I LOVED this book. This story brought on all the feelings! From the pain & sorrow felt by Ella after her accident to the moments I laughed out loud at her & Cinder's banter. It broke my heart as Ella worked through her issues with her dad. I was glad the story was realistic when it came to that journey. Ella & Cinder were amazing characters. Both were witty and pragmatic. They were each fighting a battle to control their own life and the support they gave each other was so sweet. The way Cinder handled the debacle at the end was awesome!! To sum up...this book was outstanding. I finished in less than two days. I will be reading more of Kelly's books you can count on that.
Recommended for 15 & up. Mild to moderate adult situations & sexual content.
I read this book a while back and I remember falling in love with it. It was great!
