Colleen Hoover

Finding Cinderella is a free novella that Hoover published as a thank you to her fans for all their continued support. It is a spinoff of Hopeless and Losing Hope and features several of the same characters. Originally, neither Hoover nor Atria Books had any intention of offering Finding Cinderella in paperback form, because the intention was to offer the book for free. However, the overwhelming demands from Hoover’s fans led Atria Books to agree to publish the novel in paperback form, complete with several bonus features such as a new epilogue and Hoover’s own “Cinderella story.”
