Book: Cinderella is Faking it
Author: Dilan Dyer
Main Characters: August (Beck) and Del
I've revisited this novel four times now, and each read reaffirms why it's my absolute favourite. The chemistry between Beck and Del is undeniable, making them my ultimate endgame couple. The story's perfection leaves me at a loss for words, brimming with thoughts and emotions.
It's a testament to the author's skill that the story remains fresh and engaging, continually revealing new layers of depth and nuance. The chemistry between Beck and Del is nothing short of electric, their interactions sparking with tension, humour, and an undercurrent of genuine connection that makes them my ultimate endgame couple. The way their relationship unfolds feels both inevitable and wonderfully surprising, leaving me emotionally invested in their journey every single time.
The plot is a masterful blend of romance and character growth. It revolves around Beck's initial attempts to court Cordelia, a woman grappling with the effects of PTSD.
In a twist of fate, he enlists Del's help to impersonate Cordelia, setting the stage for a complex dance of emotions and misunderstandings. The witty banter between Beck and Del is a highlight, their reluctant attraction simmering beneath sharp exchanges and grudging cooperation. When Beck discovers Del's inexperience in matters of the heart, the dynamic shifts. His decision to guide her through her first experiences of romance and intimacy leads to a series of moments that are by turns tender, passionate, and profoundly moving.
What truly sets this book apart, elevating it from a simple romance to a work of depth and substance, is the author's nuanced exploration of mental health. The portrayal of Del's anxiety and autism is handled with remarkable sensitivity and insight. Rather than defining her character, these aspects of her neurodiversity are seamlessly integrated into who she is, informing her actions and perceptions without overshadowing her individuality. The author skillfully highlights both the challenges Del faces in navigating a neurotypical world and the unique strengths and perspectives her neurodiversity brings. This portrayal not only adds richness to Del's character but also offers valuable representation and understanding to readers.
“I’ll also take neurospicy.” “Yeah,” she giggled, “that sounds better than rattling down the whole list of acronyms. ADHD, PTSD, SAD. I’m working on collecting the whole neurospicy alphabet.” I nodded. “GAD and autistic for me.”
The supporting cast is equally well-crafted, with each character feeling fully realized and purposeful. Beck's niece, in particular, stands out as a relatable and endearing presence, offering moments of levity and genuine emotion that complement the main storyline. The integration of these side characters into the narrative is seamless, each one contributing to the overall tapestry of the story and providing additional depth to our understanding of Beck and Del.
Through this thoughtful exploration of complex themes and relationships, the author has created a world that feels both fantastical in its romance and grounded in emotional truth. It's this balance that keeps me coming back, eager to lose myself in the pages once more.
