Cinderella, but make it high school. This heavily fairytale inspired story is full of energy and wit, but could have used an editor as there are alot of minor mistakes that make it harder to stay immersed in the story. The story itself is sweet and entertaining, and it's hard not to root for the complicated characters. Overall, it's a sweet story with a fairytale vibe. I've already got the authors second book, so i guess I'll see what's next. Hopefully it leaves out the surprising and uncomfortable fat shaming and the weird justification of a relationship built on an unhealthy power imbalance.

I enjoyed the story but struggled a little with frequent mistakes in the writing.

Saccharine. Glaring factual errors took me out of the story: if you're in high school in 2018, you're not a millennial, and crinoline is not a flowing fabric, lol. Will probably try the next book anyway, because she's one of my fave tiktokers, hopefully she gets better at writing.

This was a Cinderella story if the classic story allowed character development and nobody died. There were 4 typos that did pull me out of my “zone” when reading it and I really wish we had more substance in the letters/messages between 3788 and mystery man to build that relationship- it felt kind of rushed. Otherwise, I absolutely adored this book and I adore katelyn, the entire time I read it I heard her voice telling me the story which made it feel that much more special. ❤️

It very clearly was written for a target audience of high schoolers, which I am not. It was also incredibly similar to the movie A Cinderella Story. Having seen that, I didn’t find much enjoyment knowing how the story very likely was going to end.
