FEIWEL AND FRIENDS

This isn't the Cinderella you remember—but Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, book one in the New York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles, is one you won't forget.

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

Celebrity Lookalike: I most often get told that I look like Nicole Kidman (which seems like wishful thinking on my part!), although since the release of The Hunger Games movie I've been hearing Jennifer Lawrence too.
