A comforting read, but not terribly imaginative, as this kind of retelling and modernization has been done before. As a matter of fact, the author seems to have taken the basis for her story from other works, or why else would Ella's father have been a book seller? It seems to me that the one distinguishing characteristic of Cinderella in all the variations I've read is her love of books and her father's love of books. Can't anybody think of something new?

"Just Ella" is an excellent twist of the well-known fairy tale, Cinderella. In the story, the heroine comes to realize that she is not suited for life in the castle, and that she doesn't want to marry the Prince after all. However, it turns out to be much harder than she expected to break the engagement.
All in all, it's a story about one girl's self-reliance and individualism.
