A quick, easy read that I found pretty enjoyable! I’m a sucker for retellings of The 12 Dancing Princesses.
That being said, some of the plot points were pretty predictable & cheesy, the middle of the book felt much slower / harder to get through, and there was some repetitive writing (the amount of times the love interest was described as smelling like fresh linen was crazy; like two times is enough but k swear we get it at least five if not more).
Otherwise super cute and a book o could just enjoy without having to think too hard.
