I get why it is a classic, I just don't feel the connection to it that so many people do. It is cute and classic, but almost feels basic to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

One of the best examples of the rare phenomenon where the movie really is better.

Listened to the audiobook narrated by Brooke Shields. She did a good job with all the different voices. It was interesting to note the differences between the book and the movie.

Listened via Audible. I mean, what's not to love? A classic is a classic! I thought the narrator (Anne Hathaway) was kind of terrible, but I liked the story. Also, the entire timeline is totally different than the movie! I learn something new every day :)
