I haven't read a lot of fairy tale stories but this one appealed to me.  I've been in the mood for a good YA and this totally fit the bill.Let me start by saying I love the cover.  It's whimsical and fits the story so well.  I also adore the names of the characters.  Anya is such a pretty name and Zander is just a yummy boy.  Loved that.I read this straight through.  I don't remember a book that went so fast as this one did.  I just glanced down and it was done.  How did that happen?  I think it was that fairy tale magic.Clearly a fairy tale but in modern clothes, Anya is being locked away by her over protective mother.  Having lost her own daughter in a tragic way, her adoptive mom feels the need to keep her safe at the cost of her social life.Anya meets Zander at the library when she can't help but take his picture.  It's a sweet moment when he looks up and realizes what's up.  Their relationship develops as they meet at the only place Anya is allowed to go, the library, twice a week.  Soon, that isn't enough for either of them.  But Anya is afraid to tell her mother.Things play out as one might expect but I just smiled as the story unfolded.  So good.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.The story is just so sweet and delicious.  It's the perfect YA read and a great one for adults to enjoy too.  I accepted it as a fairy tale and just enjoyed it.  I'm sure anyone who loves YA would enjoy this one too.
