Stepping Out

Cindy Ella’s Not So Glassy Slipper

By: Zil Zugar

Narrated by: Amanda Woldt

In InstaVania, life is all about the perfect post, the perfect look, and the perfect following. But for Cindy, stuck managing her stepfamily's influencer dreams and their chaotic Airbnb, the world of likes and hashtags feels more like a digital prison.

When the kingdom announces a lavish royal ball—complete with reality TV coverage—Cindy is swept up in a whirlwind she never asked for. With the spotlight suddenly on her and a pair of glittery Crocs at her feet, she soon discovers that life outside the screen isn’t always what it seems.

Join Cindy on a hilariously unpredictable journey where social media meets real life, and dreams collide with reality. In a world obsessed with appearances, can she find something real?

Witty, heartwarming, and full of unexpected twists, Stepping Out is a modern-day fairytale with a fresh take on love, identity, and finding your own path.

Cinderella story with reality tv

It’s a great listen if you like your books/ audio to have a reality tv element in them.

Wonderful twist to modern day

The retelling of this classic story feels both faithful and cleverly updated—like it dusted off the original, gave it a wink, and said, “Let’s do this again, but smarter.” It keeps the soul of the story intact while making it feel completely at home in today’s scroll-happy culture.

Clever and relevant retelling

This retelling of the classic fairy tale carries a perfect message. I love the delivery by the voice actor. Amanda brings the characters to life while underscoring the real resonance behind the social media fluff...authenticity is still valued in a world gone sour. I loved this playful, interesting and thought-provoking rendition. Entertaining and but also heartfelt.

Well Done!

Amanda Woldt amd Zil Zugar both did a fantastic job on this updated cinderella story. very enjoyable.

Incredible

Great book,very well done. The narrator has done a really good job with the different voices making it much more easy to get the listener into the story. Definitely recommend this book.
