Cindy and the Prom King by Carol Culver

"Cindy Ellis has plans for her life that do not include working in her stepmother’s spa. When she gets a scholarship to Manderley, Cindy thinks her dreams are finally coming true. Filled with visions of an Ivy League education and a fabulous new life, she can’t wait to leave Castle High behind and get started. If only she didn’t have to leave her two BFFs as well, it would be perfect. When the school’s drop-dead gorgeous transfer student and star soccer player, Marco, notices her on the first day of school, it almost is.
But that’s where the fairy tale ends…because, once inside the hallowed halls with classes in full swing, Cindy sticks out like a generic brand among designer labels. Tormented by her snotty stepsisters and without her best friends for support, she begins to wonder if Manderley Prep is really all it’s cracked up to be. But when Cindy meets sweet-but-spoiled Victoria and Scott, who are itching to give her a makeover, she might jut find some new BFFs, too. And after a true fairy-tale moment with Marco, maybe even a BF…" -Goodreads.com

As far as modern Cinderella-like stories there are (that I've read) this is probably my least favorite... In Cindy and the Prom King I was getting with how immature Cindy was and it didn't feel like she really grew up in the book or learned who her friends were... Grrrrr... I'm just glad I got this for free on kindle and didn't spend any money on it...

1 star.
