I honestly don't know what to say about this one. It was a tad bit disappointing, which is sad because(as I've mentioned before)I really like fairy tale retellings. This one, though, fell through for me.I felt the majority of the story was spent sort of explaining away what happened in the original tale, making all that was told from Cinderella's point of view exaggerations, which could've been done without being so obvious. Then, I found the title to be misleading. The Cinderella in this story was rather arrogant/self-righteous and a bit of a drama queen, but she was not evil.Another thing that bugged me, and I don't consider this a spoiler, is the dress Cinderella received was said to be yellow until the next time it was mentioned in which it was pink. I try to ignore small grammatical errors in novels, but mistakes like this shouldn't be so easily overlooked.But, overall I did enjoy the book, especially the ending for Anna. Not to mention, despite all the parts I wasn't fond of, I found myself really enjoying Anna as a character. She was well written and I found her to be someone you can relate to in ways(again, despite small annoyances) So, I find that some would find this story very lovely, as it does have its charm. I would read more from Jamie Campbell!**View all of my reviews at [...] and follow me on Twitter at [...]
