What a fun read. I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure about this book going in, but it was so enjoyable! I do think it’s quite predictable, but I’m learning that doesn’t necessarily hamper my enjoyment of a good story. It also reads as YA with a few explicit scenes thrown in imo, but that made it a quick and easy little read. I struggled most with the insta-love (any love story taking place in less than a week is crazy unrealistic) but hey, it’s a fairytale, so I tolerated it. The reversal of a bookish MMC and a duty-driven FMC was a fun change. Tatiana absolutely stole the show. And it was just overall funny. All in all, a good, lighthearted palette cleanser type book between heavier reads.
