Review: Hilariously Fresh
Rating: 5 out of 5

With the bookshelves devoting more and more space to Austen-Shakespeare-Ang Lee mashups this short story is refreshingly original. It reads like a fairy tale, but with the slightly wry, all-knowing point of view that would fit a reader growing up in today's world. Only a couple of small windows appear giving quips one would expect to hear in a romantic comedy produced today. Keep a sharp eye out for the two aunts - they are by far my favorite character. Just enough romance for those looking towards that aspect, and a healthy dose of snark and humor for the rest of us.Completely enjoyable.
