520    Can the fairy tale bring Charlotte the happiness she's 
       looking for, or was he always there to begin with? A 
       modern, reimagined Cinderella story. Charlotte Kingsley 
       loves to write and dreams of having her reimagined fairy 
       tales published, but she keeps getting rejected over and 
       over. And to top it all off, her best friend, Anders, gets
       engaged, making her realize she's going to lose the Prince
       Charming who lives next door. After another rejection 
       letter from a New York publisher, Charlotte decides to 
       switch gears. What if she wrote a book about celebrating 
       women for who they really are instead of trying to create 
       a fantasy world for them to visit? She could call it The 
       Cinderella Fiction, fill it with practical advice for 
       living authentically, become ridiculously successful, and 
       then find the confidence to tell Anders how she feels 
       before it's too late. Encouraged with her plan, 
       Charlotte's new book practically writes itself and 
       incredibly a small boutique publisher makes a quick offer 
       to publish it. Though the publisher is well-known, it's a 
       small company with limited resources. Charlotte worries 
       about the book being successful and decides to sink her 
       entire advance into hiring a premier publicity firm to 
       make her book a bestseller. She also discovers that Anders
       has called off his engagement, and wants to try a 
       relationship with Charlotte. Suddenly her fairy tale 
       dreams seem to be coming true. However, Charlotte's 
       publicist has very specific ideas about how to market the 
       book-and the author. Which means Charlotte-with her 
       average looks, cluttered apartment, and penchant for 
       raspberry fudge ice cream-will need to undergo a total 
       transformation in a social media makeover which will have 
       to exclude her best friend Anders. After all, people who 
       see Charlotte's "perfect imperfections" through a 
       carefully curated Instagram account will relate and 
       naturally want to buy her book. At first, Charlotte is 
       excited to enter this fantasy world and play "dress up," 
       and Anders reluctantly agrees to go along with it, even 
       though it means he's largely out of Charlotte's social 
       media life and hidden from her public life entirely. Gone 
       are the days of posting in sweatpants, taking photos of 
       take-out dinners, and chronicling just hanging out. And 
       even though her life is now filled with book tours, 
       parties, and publicity events, she wishes she could have 
       Anders with her in private and in public to complete her 
       fairy tale life. The toll of her new life soon proves 
       exhausting. Telling women to "be authentic" even while she
       herself is undergoing elaborating staging to get just the 
       right image for her social media accounts makes her feel 
       like a fraud. She hasn't written anything new in months, 
       and her relationship with Anders is falling apart. During 
       a publicity event, Charlotte meets one of her favorite 
       authors, someone who has more than thirty bestsellers. 
       When she takes Charlotte under her wing, Charlotte is sure
       she has found her fairy godmother. Rather than helping her
       change her outward appearance, this seasoned author helps 
       Charlotte see the beautiful person she already is and the 
       worth of being authentic. In the end, Anders feels like 
       his relationship with Charlotte is just another one of her
       carefully curated images, a side-note even, and he decides
       to head home to his native Finland. Though she tells 
       herself he'll come around eventually, Charlotte needs to 
       decide what she believes in: the fairy tale persona, or 
       the woman Anders has always loved-before he's gone 
       forever.
