Even though I needed some time to get into it, I ended up really enjoying this book.
I also was kinda surprised by the amount of toxic masculinity but it was great to see the protagonist fight against it and being very brave. I loved Sophia und Constance and their relationship, especially if you compare it to Sophia's relationship with Erin. 
The only thing which confused me a bit was Amina's character and behavior. Therefore I maybe would have liked the book to be a bit longer for a better understanding of what she did in the end.

Amazing take in a classic fairytale. It was really dark with so many twists and turns. Love every minute of it!

Profoundly mid. Feels kind of rushed, but it is redeemed by the eighty pages I was absolutely captivated by. Would've like a story just on the "true" Cinderella story, but eh. Maybe I'm just particular.

Genuinely, why does Manford have to kiss people to take their life energy. What purpose does it serve other than to make him disgusting. As much as I hate it, though, I do simultaneously understand why, as a metaphor for the marriages being a drain on women, but girl. Girl. I hated it.
