What an outstanding book! I loved the hook!! The premise really draws you in and Sophia is such a fun character. I loved being drawn into the story with it's unique worldbuilding. The story is set in and wrapped around the Cinderella tale, most likely Disney's version. It shows the messed up story and the cruelty of others. Sophia is unlike almost all the other girls. She's bold, knows what her standards are, and hates the Cinderella story. She also only likes girls, not boys, and therefore is an outcast, because she wants to be with her girlfriend.

It was okay. The retelling was kinda cool and it was somewhat entertaining, but I think overall it just didn’t hit the spot.

Great story and I thought that the main characters had a very real feel of teens. That said, the start was very slow to me and I felt the novel as a whole could have been edited a bit.
Some things are just drawn out too long and others just don't need to be explained, debated, and explained again. Others don't need to be revisited multiple times during the story.

An excellent retelling of Cinderella from the point of view of a sapphic poc. Predictable at times but still a delightful read.
