    Jess hates her school and desperately needs to find friends to keep her off of the mean girls' radar.

    On the final day of the school year (after two humiliating events), she finds an envelope in her bag inviting her
    to a secret society. At first, she thinks it's just another prank, but then she realizes that it's for real. Jess has no
    idea why they want her, but she's willing to find out why.

    The Cindys recruit girls with special powers of kindness, leadership, and generosity, and the group includes
    some of the most popular girls in school. There's a long-standing tradition of The Cindys nationwide - battling
    the Wickeds, their evil counterpart.  This year, the Wickeds have doubled in size, proving that something's
    afoot.

    It's a lot of information for Jess to take in, but she's super-excited about the makeover given to all of The
    Cindys upon their initiation. Soon, she's picking out her own signature style and having her hair and makeup
    professionally done. So far, everything about the group has been great, but there's a lot of work ahead of her.

    In the midst of the battle for good and evil, Jess snagged the boy she's been crushing on since she moved to
    town. The Cindys have given Jess a mission to uncover information, but once Jess has it, she can't let go. Will
    she go against The Cindys and their ways to battle her nemesis?

    THE CINDERELLA SOCIETY is the first book in a new series. I LOVED this book for several reasons,
    including the title (love stories about Princesses), the cover (which is awesome), and the story just rocks.
    There are makeovers, secret societies, romance, and snarky showdowns.
