3.5

This was a fun and timely read at the end of February, as the story centers around a leap year, and includes some magical elements therein. I enjoyed Williams sharp sense of humor and the recognizable elements of a cinderella story, including magic, three evil sisters, a fairy godmother, and of course the prince who has been looking for his great love. I do find the ‘oddball girl with gumption who strikes out on her own’ theme a bit tiresome and the reinforcement of that narrative got a little repetitive. But overall the story felt fresh and entertaining. I definitely need to go back and read Seven Days in June!
