Any additional comments?
Fooling Around with Cinderella is the perfect beach read that includes several laugh out loud moments. It is a great first book in the new Storybook Valley series by Stacy Juba. Having worked at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio over the summers during my college years, I could easily relate to the setting of an amusement park and the pecking order of “the talent.”

The story centers around recent college graduate Jaine Andersen who proposes a new marketing position to the local theme park, Storybook Valley, in part, because the park no longer attracts the crowds it once did when Jaine was a little girl. The general manager of the park, Dylan Callahan, sweet talks Jaine into playing the part of Cinderella for meet and greets with the youngsters, along with hiring her part time as the marketing department. Needless to say, Jaine falls for her boss and shenanigans ensue when an old girlfriend (who also works at the park) starts to sabotage all of Jaine’s good efforts.

I listened to the Audible version of this story narrated by Karen Commins who did a wonderful job. I was totally engrossed and imagined that I was listening to Jaine’s thoughts and snarky comments, rather than listening to a reader’s narration of a book. In short, Fooling Around with Cinderella is the perfect summer escape!
