I enjoyed this “reimagining of a classic tale as old as time”. It started out really cute, and I liked the references to the classic story, but after awhile the story just seemed to drone on. I wouldn’t particularly classify this as a romance as there was very little romance involved. When the romance finally did appear, it was extremely vague and short lived. There weren’t a lot of physical descriptions of the characters so I found myself reimagining a lot what they looked like or flipping to the cover illustration to get a general idea. It didn’t take anything away from the story at all, but it was just something I noticed. The ending was just okay. Overall, the book was cute and enjoyable, I just would have liked more romance.
