Happily Ever After Cinder Ella #2 Kelly Oram Books
Happily Ever After by Kelly Oram is a perfect follow-up to her Cinder & Ella, picking up about a week later. I’ve read Cinder & Ella more times than I can count and have multiple copies (my original Kindle copy, a paperback copy, even an Audible copy which I highly recommend). Seriously as I write this, I want to go back and read it. Brian and Ella are two of my all-time favorite characters and their relationship is another favorite of mine. Happily Ever After is the sequel I didn’t know I wanted or needed. Cinder & Ella pretty much ends on a high note and suggests that the couple gets their HEA, but as the title of the sequel suggests this book is their HEA and how they achieve it. Honestly I loved it, but then again I’ve yet to read anything by Kelly Oram I didn’t enjoy.Ella is a hard pill to swallow in this book. She was in a really dark place at the end of Cinder & Ella. She had just exited an intensive, inpatient therapy program to overcome her depression, and I thought the author does a great job of bringing those insecurities and doubts about Ella to light in the sequel. It was present in the first book but is fleshed out better here. It’s been a year since her mother died and she is struggling, she’s never had a chance to fully grieve. Ella is still recovering herself and now she has a support system and people on her side. It’s amazing to read her growth.
Brian is Brian *swoon* He is self-centered, a little too Hollywood at times, but ALWAYS and I do mean always there for Ella when she needs him. He puts her needs first, showing her and telling her constantly how much he loves her. It’s sweet, a little over the top, but done in such a way as to be believable. I love how he loves her!
The plot is simple really. It’s about these two people who we fell in love with building a relationship. A real, long-lasting, all-consuming, loving relationship. Something Ella desperately needs as her life at home with her dad and step-family falls apart. While this book focuses on Ella and Brian (and I did love that), I missed the familial relationships and themes explored during the first book. It’s present here, but not to the extent it was in Cinder & Ella. I missed that.
Overall, I loved this book! It made me laugh, cry and swoon. I cheered Ella and Brian on and yelled at them through my kindle when they were being stupid. I do think it needs to be noted that while the first book is a mature YA, this book is new adult with some mild language and a few steamy scenes, so I don’t recommend this to anyone under 18. If you enjoyed Cinder & Ella or you’re looking for a light romantic read, I highly recommend you get your copy ASAP!

Happily Ever After Cinder Ella #2 Kelly Oram Books Reviews
A sequel to Kelly Oram's Cinder & Ella, get outta heah! I had no idea there was one in the works. Cinder & Ella is hands down one of my favorite YA reads of recent years. I'm a sap for fairy tale romances, and that book was such an engrossing modern-day spin on the Cinderella story. I've read it four times.
As I write this, I'd read the sequel, finished it, and right away cracked it open again. Happily Ever After (Cinder & Ella #2) picks up a week after how the first book ended, and I guess a spoiler alert now for those who've yet to read the first book (but why are you reading this review?). So it's been a week that Ellamara and Brian have been officially an item. They're still trending on all social media. Social media - heck, all kinds of media - are still salivating at whatever news could be dug up about them, the insolent heartthrob movie star and the poor, scarred half-Chilean girl raised in inner city Boston by her single mother.
This book catapults an unprepared Ella into Brian's heady world of Hollywood glitz and hype and dogged paparazzi. But equally as daunting is Ella's precarious relationships with her new-found family, the father who abandoned her when she was eight and the wife and step-sisters he abandoned her for. Kelly Oram is a born natural storyteller. Her character work is tremendous. She gives us scenes raw with keen emotional trauma. She sure bats Ella around. By the end of the first book, I'd thought that Ella had resolved just about every obstruction thrown her way. Nope.
It's a grand love story. In fact, in my eyes, it's one for the ages, never mind that they're so young, his 22 years to her 19. I'm so glad Oram doesn't mess with Brian, doesn't, for example, to service the almighty narrative conflict, sow seeds of doubt in Ella's mind about Brian's devotion to her. Maybe it's another spoiler, but I'll say that Brian from beginning to end stays totally devoted to her. No, this sequel isn't as breathtaking as the first book. It's lesser by a smidge because the hard work, the magical work, was done in that first book. But it's still very much a page-turner. Like I said, I read this twice already, back to back.
It'd be awesome if these two books were adapted to cinema, except my big fear is that Brian Oliver won't be captured on screen right, either by script or by performer. What makes Brian so awesome is that we get chapters told from his perspective, and, so, we get a chance to get inside his head and see what's under the arrogant, bigger-than-life movie persona. If we do get a Cinder & Ella movie, and it's saddled with some generic actor and a script that misappropriates the source material, then movie Brian may come off as a jerk.
70% of Ella's body was burnt in that car accident that killed her mom. She walks with a cane, slowly. She can't stay on her feet too long. She can't negotiate stairs at all. She's horribly self-conscious about her disfigurement. She's such a strong character. In her blogs, in her conversations even with distinguished muck-a-mucks, in how she deals with Brian, she doesn't hold back on her opinions. But her scars are her kryptonite. Her scars make her doubt herself, make her see herself as not good enough. It's the one thing preventing her from fully committing to Brian. How is that resolved? Just read the dang thing. It's got wonderful characters. Besides Ella and Brian, I relished being thrown in the company of Ella's twin step-sisters (yes, even the mean one). Vivian's tailor dads are a riot. And there's terrific fun and a great sense of gratification in watching Ella meet and conquer a host of Hollywood big wigs and celebrities. This book is captivating and funny and moving and romantic. It has stuff to say about accepting yourself. There are so many grand romantic gestures that the reader is bound to swoon - yes, I'm talking to you, dude.
Also, I love it that Oram tosses in references to her other books. Speaking of which, guess who happens to be Ella's favorite rock star?
