QQC: Reading Journal 17

Hi everyone!
Right now I'm reading a book called The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen. A quote/passage from the book is: "It was like Cinderella in reverse: if I was a princess for my daylight hours, at night I let myself and my composure go, just until the stroke of midnight, when I turned back to princess, just in time." My question for this book is: If the main character, Macy, is considering herself a princess, why would she want to change that? However, Macy is free to do whatever she wants. So, it would seem like she's making herself a princess by not doing something fun and random. For me, this quote is that it is kind of confusing, and hard to follow, but it does have a meaning. Sometimes I do feel like a Cinderella in reverse when I'm at home when doing absolutely nothing. All in all this book is really good.. so far, and I learned something like how "..." is called an ellipsis. lol, I didn't even know a variation of periods were a called a specific name.
