A review by fdarlene491
Bookshop Cinderella by Laura Lee Guhrke
4.0
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
To my mind Bookshop Cinderella is a mashup of the original story and the 1980's romcoms where the guy makes a bet and transforms the girl into a diamond. There's a cousin who's offered her a place to live so she could take care of the children, sounds just great. There's a stepfather who disapproves of her and everything she does. She's working her fingers to the bone with multiple jobs and barely gets by; she's independent, proud and lonely.. It is 1896 so the more progressive attitude towards working for a living had lightened up but not completely gone. Her finishing school nightmare colors her view of the ton. The male lead happens to be a Duke & he's not a bad or entitled as she thinks a duke would be. He's nice & it's only fitting that Max falls in love with Evie.
