MY REVIEW:

enjoyable/easy to read:

☆☆☆☆☆ 3.5/5

villains almost never look like cackling witches, cruel stepmothers, or bratty stepsisters. they're so much quieter than that

I was really enjoying the Cinderalla narrative until it got lost about halfway through. Sidetracked with self-love, slightly preachy self-help clichés with seemingly random weight and body-love proverbs. It just wasn’t related to the established fairy tale storyline. This left the plot feeling disjointed. If I could cut out the middle unassociated bits, I did really enjoy the twist on Cinderella. Instead of being about finding Prince Charming, it’s about finding yourself first and maybe being your own Prince Charming.
