4.5
Big Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy!
"How to Summon a Fairy Godmother" is a Cinderella retelling from the stepsister's point of view. And the book did a great job fleshing out the characters and handling them with care, without idealizing them, but bringing out their flaws.
Also, the story was funny and entertaining, with loads of magic and whimsical characters. It was, in addition, well-paced and kept things interesting until the final chapter.
The romance, on the other hand, could have been handled better, but I enjoyed the ending and how the main character, now having gone through the character development, learned that she deserves better.
Finally, the narrator was amazing and the whole audiobook production was excellent.
