I love anything Disney inspired so I was really excited for this! I love any Cinderella retelling or inspired works but this.....didnt hit. There were too many references to Disney films instead of this being a Disney inspired book. There were sooooo many paragraphs of dialogue. Im talking like a full page of just one person talking, without any break for a description. It was just pure one long paragraph of dialogue. Numerous times. And then conflict happens 40 pages before the end for the quickest resolution? I should have DNF'd this earlier honestly. I was sadly disappointed.
