BOOK BY: Jennifer Deibel
This latest novel by Jennifer Deibel will keep readers who love Cinderella stories enthralled until the end.
Set in Ireland, readers are treated to the beauty of landscape and local dialect. A cameo appearance by previous characters provide a fun distraction for one scene. There are characters to love and characters that one can’t warm up to at all.
When focused on Brianna and Michael, the story is sweet. They both are endearing in the way they care for others, and eventually for each other. However, as the story focuses on the “evil stepmother” character, it grows dark and heavy. Abuse is prevalent with her storyline, though in the context of the novel it makes sense.
There are some surprises that will delight readers, and of course, as in all Cinderella stories, a happy ending.
I received an ecopy of the book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
