Good Morning!
Finally I’ve read this book, that i’ve seen pretty much everywhere and has been on my want to read for such a while already – while not being too too sure if I wanted to read it as it was my first retelling.. and I’m not much a fairytale/disney movie person.
but OMG why haven’t I read it sooner ??! It was my first audiobook too, which was such a good decision as it was amazing with their voices, but I absolutely need a paper copy of it on my shelves now.

First thing I gotta say, I’m SO happy that there is indeed a dachshund in this story; and not just a pretty thing on the cover. Although I would’ve hoped little Franco would be more important in this story.. but i’d take it!
The narrator’s for this audiobook were perfect; I loved Elle’s and Darien’s voice.
Darien was my favorite character, a perfect fanboy who’s even more dorky than he looks like — I’d date that. But more than anything else, I was swooning at the love story between them both.. This is the kind of love stories that I go MAD for !!
There’s just something with the « texted the wrong number and became friends/falled in love » trope that I so love; something that *could* technically happen, when I let myself drift off in the audiobook’s universe.. sometimes I come back to my life dreamingly thinking I have someone to text too (which- I absolutely don’t anymore 🤦🏽♀️🙊)
This made me feel so many emotions.. love, laughs, tears, absolute angry-ness toward the unfairness to Elle and the unnecessary meanness of the step-sisters. Near the end, I was literally bawling at the good turn of the story.. it was so beautiful and meant so much !!
I’ve heard so much of this book!! I’m glad you liked it, perhaps I’ll pick it up someday!!
Hopefully you’d like it also!!
It’s one of thoses i’ve heard a LOT in the blogosphere too, and my why didn’t I just read it before ? xD
