A sweet Cinderella re-telling. I loved seeing Benedict's POV and found myself giggling at the banter between Benedict and Sophie often.

A traditional Victorian-era romance so not much to comment on with respect to world building. The villain Duchess of Penwood gave me big Angelica Houston vibes and the "ugly sisters" felt very much Ever After coded.

A fun, light-hearted romance with a surprising yet satisfying ending.
