This book was an absolute joy to read. That’s the only way I know how to describe it. Based on the description, I knew I would enjoy this and I was so right. The way this retelling was executed was flawless. The banter was excellent, the writing was superb (I was shocked to find out this is the author’s debut novel), and the message behind the story is wonderful. If you enjoy retellings from the view of the “villains” or even if you don’t, this book is worth picking up. This story is told from the viewpoint of one of Cinderella’s wicked step sisters and it dives into the psyche of that sister. It’s a fresh and meaningful take on a well known story and I loved it.
