This one felt a little slower than The Five French Hens, but it was still lovely and heartwarming to read. I’ll miss Vivienne, Gwen and Mary.

Inspiring and instructive. It opened my eyes to how capitalism and patriarchal issues have molded and still molds today’s society and it helped me see a way out of all these madness, and the answer is love. Not love as an abstract noun but an action based on respect, acceptance and other more concrete nouns. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the last chapter, it seemed it was there just to fill up some pages.

The characters act like teenagers even though they are adults. Specially the main character seems pretty immature on her relationship with her parents (and even life). It seems like she is always expecting someone will fix things for her, at the same time she gets angry when her parents do it for her.

I thought that sometimes the development of the story was too slow and repetitive, but I loved it anyway.

So annoying, couldn’t pass the first chapter. I know it was based on Cinderella but this idea of a poor woman mistreated by her step mother is so annoying and immature.
