I. Love. This. Book. I read it for the first time when I was in middle school and I just finish rereading it as a college student. It’s such a beautifully written book and the story, though a retelling, is nostalgic and uniquely wonderful to read. I can’t describe how happy this book makes me. I’ve read fairy tale retellings before that I absolutely couldn’t stand (I normally think they’re insufferable and cringey) but this really puts a different spin on Cinderella that I think is so much more emotionally satisfying than the original story. Everyone needs to read this I wish it was more popular/mainstream.
