Yessssss, this was everything I wanted it to be AND MORE!!! I loved this, from beginning to end.

This book grabbed my attention from the very beginning. The story was so captivating, and I was rooting for Anna from page one! I really enjoyed the twist on the Cinderella story, but I also loved that there was some Snow White and even some Mulan vibes in here as well! 

Also…. Will. Fantastic. I just loved his character, and the dynamic between him and Anna was great! Their story felt authentic.

And then there’s THE TWIST. I didn’t see it coming at all!!! My jaw DROPPED. 

I have no notes. Nothing negative to say. What an incredibly fun read!
