Cinderella in Cleats
The story is about Whitney who has a passion for football
and it has been like a ritual to her to play football with her father, her
boyfriend Jason and his father but then one day her father has a sudden heart
attack and dies on the field. Suddenly the perfect life that Whitney knows
changes what with her father dying, Jason abandoning and completely ignoring
her which makes her let go of football because it brings back too many bad
memories for her. Two years go by and Whitney decides to move forward and try out for the state championship football team at her
high school. But can she overcome the bad memories that she associates with
football? Can she face Jason again who now plays in the team?

The rest of the story follows
and she clears through but is not taken in the team as she is a girl which
prompts her to change schools and try in the rival team.

Though I love books with daring
heroines, still I was not impressed with Whitney. Somewhere in the middle of
the book, I felt like slapping her, she was so irritating. Gurr 🙁

The story baseline was very
strong but Carly could neither develop the story nor the characters. All
through the book, we are introduced to some character or the other with history but instead of telling us completely about them she just skips to some
other character which resulted in me getting frustrated and uninterested.
Whitney is initially shown as a girl with a backbone but then as the chapters
progress she is deteriorated to a senseless teen girl with no sense and her
instantaneous love with any boy within ten meters of her was infuriating. Gurr 🙁

The book can be summed as one with an unimpressive cover, underdeveloped plot and characters and sequences so uninteresting and predictable that I skimmed more than half the book though the story had a promising start.
I don’t like writing bad about a book because it takes effort
writing one but in this case, I have to say that if you get the book from
someone, you might attempt a read but I certainly won’t recommend it.

All in all, Cinderella in Cleats, is
a book that you can skip reading.
, isa book that you can skip reading.
I give Cinderella in Cleats by Carly Syms 2.5 out of 5 stars just because there is no fault in the writing style of Carly and the story which, had it been written better could have become a very promising read.
