I've always wanted to read a modern Cinderella retelling, but I never really found one I liked, until On a Night Like This. It was so magical to read, it felt like being wrapped in a gently warm hug. I wanted to read this book with fresh snow laying on the ground and a cup of hot chocolate in hand. Honestly, I was not expecting the book to start off the way it did, with Fran, our main character being dragged on a ship to who-knows-where, as an assistant. Fran was so lovely to meet and I loved how her character developed throughout the novel, she's such a sweet girl that deserved so much than what she originally started out with. Honestly I felt so satisfied and content with her story and I'm glad I go to go on this twisty-turny story with her, she glowed up and I'm thankful I got to see her shine. Her love interest was an absolute SWEETHEART and I couldn't be more happy for them. They were like two lonely souls who found peace and contentment within each other AND IT WAS SO ADORABLE AND BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH THEIR RELATIONSHIP GROW.

I have recorded a detailed but spoiler-free review of this book in my weekly podcast, which you can find here.

I’m a little surprised with how much I enjoyed this one? I found Fran to be a very easy character to root for. I wanted so badly for her to get out of her situation with Stew and to do well at this new job! The Crystal Ball sounded insane and I don’t even want to know if the super rich of the world actually have events like that. Also, I was glad for the Below Deck reference because as soon as she got on that yacht I thought “this is like Below Deck”.

Anyway, long story short if you enjoy these British romances featuring 30-something women (Mhairi McFarlane, Giovanna Fletcher, Beth O’Leary) then you’ll like this one too.
