Finished this at work and had to keep stopping so I wouldn't be caught crying at my desk (reoccurring theme). There's a great message in this one! I was only slightly hesitant when the synopsis hinted at "Cinderella" being the villain. Say it ain't so! But, if we all take a second to break it down, don't most of us end up relating more to the ugly stepsisters, anyway? We take away from the fairy tale that Cinderella is beautiful and she gets her prince. I don't know about you, but I can't relate to that. That's what makes this story so unique. That's what made me read it. You can't get more realistic than Imogen. Some heavy subjects are battled in this tale, but it's done in a way that isn't too intense. There are fluffy moments throughout that help balance all the heavy stuff. Some of the really sweet moments are pretty much EVERYTHING that involves GRANT! He is absolute GOLD! This story has a little bit of everything. Grant for the swoons. Ella for the mean girl drama. Brice, Johnathan & Antonique for the friendship and then there's Imogen. She's a princess. Did I get too cheesy for you guys? I couldn't help myself. Yay for great stories that make you feel all the feels!
