When I got this book I was really excited to get started. I'm a sucker for a good fairytale retelling. The story started off a little slow but as the book progressed it definitely got better and better. Jess was a cool character and her attitude felt very genuine to her current situation and her history. I appreciated that she a dream and determination on her own and didn't need a guy to tame her wild ways and make her see that she could have more.Sebastien is the "prince" in this Cinderella story. He is actually very smart and is a talented cellist. He is dedicated to his music and works hard to make that his career.The best thing about this storyline was the pacing. It didn't feel rushed. The secondary characters were nice additions to the story and played opposite the main characters well. It left me wanting to know more about them. That is probably the only real issue I had with this book. I wish I had the chance to really connect with the characters and learn more about their backgrounds and family dynamics. Overall, I really liked this story. It was a fun read and the characters were interesting and authentic.
