I was a little afraid to read this book, honestly. I have read quite a few fairy-tale retellings in the last year or so, and none of them have been very impressive. I was wrong on this account.This book is a lot of fun. It is the kind of book that makes you laugh and feel good about reading it and also the type that makes you want to share quotes. There are a few areas where I laughed loud enough to make people look up at me in question. I love it when that happens.The main character, Charlotte is immediately likable. She is the kind of charismatic character that makes the rest of the story move along seamlessly so you don't even realise how fast you are reading it until you reach the last page.The supporting characters are the kind that you just want to get to know better. This was my first experience with this author and I look forward to her future books. I have added her to my list of authors to watch and I would recommend that you do as well.One of the main things that made me like this, is that although it is based loosely on a previous popular fairy-tale, it is also very unique. Even if you are familiar with the original story, this author will still surprise you with her ability to take a base story and turn it into something you have not seen before.The only thing I might have liked to see done differently in this book was the last few chapters. Things felt a bit rushed and I thought there were missed opportunities to resolve situations.Overall, this was a great book and a lot of fun to read.This review is based on a digital ARC from the publisher.
