This is an adorable short story, and I was smiling the whole time I was reading it. 3.5 stars.

This was such a great twist on the Cinderella story! I loved all the little ways she referenced the fairy tale, they were so unique and unexpected. My only complaint - I wish it was longer!!!

Short and sweet

I love reimagined fairytales and this one satiates at least for a little while. The dialogue between the main characters is very captivating.
