Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books The Cinderella Pact

In this funny and big-hearted story by the author of The Secret Lives of Fortunate Wives, three best friends make a pact to transform themselves into the glamorous women they've always wanted to be.

Nola Devlin has a secret identity. By day she is an overweight, frumpy, and overlooked editor at Sass! (the "celebrity magazine with an edge!"), but by night she slips behind her keyboard and into her alter-ego: Belinda Apple. Belinda is thin, gorgeous, British and the author of a trendy advice column- she is, in effect, the latest Carrie Bradshaw. Not even Nola's two best friends or her self-absorbed sister (who worships Belinda as the "sister she never had") know her secret.
When "Belinda" jots off a column about how easy it is to lose weight, Nola is shocked when her best friends take her own lies to heart and urge her to follow Belinda's weight loss program. Since Nola can't reveal herself as the real Belinda Apple, she bites the bullet and joins her friends in making the "Cinderella Pact"- a last ditch attempt to lose weight (again!) and transform their lives for good.

But as the pounds come off, things don't turn out the way the three friends expect. Their journey of self-discovery leads to the return of an old love and the unmasking of new problems. Meanwhile, Nola finds herself torn between two different men as she stomps out fires caused by her deception as Belinda Apple and falls in love with the man who just might be her prince - or the rat in coachman's clothing.

Criticize Epithetical Books The Cinderella Pact

★★★★½ This was sooooooo much better than I thought it would be. I only read chick-lit occasionally, because I get tired of some of the clueless women so often depicted in the genre. That isnt the case here. I found myself looking forward to squeezing it into my reading time. Glad my GR friends June and Hayley insisted this new-to-me author was worth checking out.

A good beach read but nothing more. It's silly and the romance aspect is utterly ridiculous. If you're a fan of the cliche underdog story, this is for you. Far fetched .... Especially the constant weight comments to the main characters. It tries to be Bridget Jones but misses the mark.

I was up til the wee hours finishing this... *not* a book to read when one is hormonally unstable-- I went through six tissues in the last 30 pages or so. I think at big part of the reason I liked this book so much (and was bawling into multiple tissues) was that it hit so close to home-- my starting weight, when I joined Weight Watchers, was the same as the Nola's. I didn't realize when I started it that it was going to be "that kind of book"-- I was expecting light and ditzy chick-lit.It *is*

It was funny cute adorable and informative story. I like the way diet issues were presented. How a simple frumpy girl went from normal to extraordinary. Family relations were solid and natural in very believable setting. Characters were round and story was good. Pacing sometimes was shifting to fast and slow but it was pleasant to follow through.Three friends making a pact to slim down. It is a story about how they ended up the way they did, achieving their goal that is.

"We are who we are. Isn't that our mantra?"That's when I understood what it really means to lose weight. It's as through fat is a cloud that's around your mountain of problems. Not until you drop the weight and clear the fog, will you know how high you've got to climb to get on top of them. Some of my favourite quotes in The Cinderella Pact. I enjoyed Sarah's chick lit books than any of her young adult contemporary books.

I loved this book. I loved Nola, who pretended to be Belinda. I loved the Weight Watchers parts, I loved that she found her prince. This was such a good book.Favorite quote:"That's when I understood what it really meant to lose weight. It's as though fat is a cloud that's around your mountain of problems. Not until you drop the weight and clear the fog will you know how high you've got to climb to get on top of them."Ain't that the truth?

This was a happy surprise. I do like to read chick-lit but for me it is hard to find a book that isn't inane or a heroine who I can relate to. The Cinderella Pact was very funny with some great lines in it. Nola is a thirty-four year old single woman whose little sister is getting married. Everyone is treading lightly around her thinking she is secretly jealous, which she isn't. She also the most popular columnist at the magazine she works for as an editor. She didn't get the job because of her
