The Stepsister and the Slipper by Nina Clare
4.0
The Stepsister and the Slipper is the fourth installment of the A Villain's Ever After series. In it, you will meet Charlotte and Lance. Now this is a Cinderella retelling with an interesting twist. Yes, the prince still marries the Cinderella-like character in this book. That love will probably never change. It just so happens that the stepsister almost ends up marrying him before she finally tells the truth.
Don't know if you all know but there are three animated Cinderella movies. In the last one, I think, the stepsister ends up almost marrying the prince before the truth is reveal and he ends up with Cinderella. Please don't ask me how I know this but just know that I love Disney movies. Plain and simple.
That being said, this book reminded me of that movie. Charlotte was a bit unlikable for most of this book. Same feelings towards her mother as well. I didn't really agree with her decisions until she finally told the truth. She just seemed pretty selfish, and she just wanted the title and money more than the actual love.
I did, however, really like her with Lance. At least whenever they were together the chemistry never felt forced. I liked how he called her out towards the end and was still there for her after everything. I also liked how both sisters were visited by the fairy godmother. So, yeah, it reminded me of the movie and I'm glad both sisters found love.
In the end, I need the next book now!
