The Cinderella Society by Kay Cassidy


Jess Parker is 16 and to spite the fact she is a cheerleader, she has always been an outsider.  when she moves to a new town and takes the spot of a cheerleader with less talent, she becomes a target for the other girls on the squad. It seems like her junior year is going to be really hard, until she gets an invitation on the last day of her sophomore year.  Jess's invitation introduces her to the world of the Cindys.  now that she has the looks, the guy, and the friends she wants is she willing to do what it takes to keep it all?

The story revolves around two competing groups; The Cindys and the Wickeds.  The Cindys are a force for good in the world (like Cinderella) and the Wickeds are a force for evil (like the Wicked Step Sisters).  It starts in high school, when the girls are recruited, and continues through out their lives.

The premise for the book is interesting but it fell short for me.  I found Jess to be a little boring so I didn't feel connection with her.  The pace of the book is a little slow, but it reads kind of like the national treasure movies.  There is a larger conspiracy going on beyond a high school club that many readers find exciting and interesting to read about.
