"Everyone said a girl with a strong will would come to a bad end. Everyone said a girl’s will must be bent to the wishes of those who know what’s best for her.
Isabelle was young, only sixteen; she had not yet learned that Everyone is a fool."
If you love like I do the fairytales, you will definitely will enjoy this book. It is written in the different perspective of the stepsister's of the Cinderella. I will admit Cinderella wasn't my favourite story than I was growing up, yet I do love when it was made a bit differently. I do remember watching Drew Barrymore "Ever After" and loving it. This story would as well explore oppression of the women as well as how they expected to behave and look in the society. "It takes more than a heartbreak to kill a girl". So if you love stories like that, this one is for you.
And lets not forget to mention beautifully artistic cover of the book.
