I usually stay away from re-told fairy tales. I already know the story, so what's the point? This one is a delightful exception! I loved that Kate (aka Cinderella) is not the hesitant, shy miss the tale seems to imply but a wonderfully witty (sometimes laugh-out-loud-funny) heroine stuck in a less than desirable position and making the most out of it. I wasn't sold on the scene where Kate waits in the Prince's room while he plays court to his betrothed, it just didn't fit her character. But, with that exception, it was a light, very funny, read that just might make me change my outlook on fairy tales!
