A very cute and witty reselling of Cinderella, with sparkling dialogue and intelligent characters as is to be expected from Eloisa James. The novel is a fairy tale, not a historical romance, so my usual nitpicking of history habit is thwarted. Alas.
Kate and her godmother Henry are delightful characters. All of the women are quite fun, from Kate's stepsister Victoria to the other misunderstood spinster at the ball, Effie. Even the evil stepmother is well drawn in her outright evilness, and rival ...more

This is Eloisa's spin of Cinderella. Of course those who know me that is the first sign that I will read the book.
This month in a book club for Eloisa fans we are reading this book and I read it far to fast so luck for me I can keep reading it all month long.
In this book there is a prince. A Godmother but she isn't a fairy, mischievousness yes. One step mother, and only one stepsister that turns out to be more. The step sister is beautiful but "not the brightest bulb in the box" but not mean spi ...more

A bit of a slow start to this book, imo, but I enjoyed the second half & the ending.
The story was, in some ways, not quite what I was expecting which is why I gave it just 3 stars.

I'm a big fan of Eloisa James and this book didn't disappoint. I love the whimsy, I love the fantasy/fairy tale, I love the humor, I love the fun. A series to look forward to!

Delightfully full of detail! I felt I was right there with Kate and the Price at the ball! An incredibly heartwarming romance!
This is a beautiful and unexpected take on the classic fairy tale. I have only recently discovered this author & genre and really like Eloisa James' characters. I wanted to finish this so badly I stayed up way too late & when I finally gave in to sleep, I made myself wake up early to finish this (& I'lll admit my son was late for school because of it) It was a very sweet story.
