A 2.5 star review. The things I liked, I really liked - the things I didn't like, I REALLY didn't like.
Basically it had three glaring issues that mostly ruined it for me.

Ugh the saccarine sweetness of the heroine made me want to make a dental appointment. All of her naivete and smugness had me repeatedly rolling my eyes. And the romance!

Charming and fun (and funny at points!). I loved the main character, in both her incarnations, and fell in love with the story from page one. I will definitely read the rest of the series.
A delightful story, and did not turn out as I expected. Surprised I had not come across it previously. Perhaps the nastiest father I have come across in fiction in a long time...
A cute fast read.
Ingenious!
