There's a reason retellings work. A hundred year old formula, it still has its kick.
I adored Sophie, I loved Benedict, their story was beautiful and I ate it up.
Also, the plot was thicker than I expected, which I quite enjoyed.
The epilogues might be the best to date too, Posy deserves everything good in this world.
And on to the next we go, I'm dying to see how Colin fixes his major screw-up now.

I will however accept criticism about Benedict. He saves Sophie from being raped by three men only to manipulate and blackmail her into staying by his side- either as his mistress or a servant in his mother’s household. Men suck.
Even though Cinderella retellings were already cliche when the book was written, I’ll still forgive it. It’s hard not to be a sucker for the underdog getting their magical night out and eventually getting their flowers. And I’m absolutely dying to dive into Colin’s story because I know that boy’s got some groveling to do!
