i really wanted to enjoy this book. the idea of a modernized fairy-tale with a mix of cinderella retelling intrigued me. it was definitely a worth read, but it felt like every other ya books. same story, different setting.
the romance: i felt like the romance was rushed. i don’t know how they fell in love with each other in a span of days. the chemistry was barely there, the romance element just disappointed me. i definitely was wishing for something more, but overall it was adorable. the romance got me smiling, regardless.
the characters: i love the characters, but i didn’t feel as attached as i thought it would be. overall, the characters’ personality were likable despite their flaws.
the plot: as i’ve said earlier, it was just like every other ya books, but with the same story, and different setting.
the mystery part was the only thing that kept me reading this book. though the ending was satisfying, i still expected more to it as this book is loved by numerous people.
