“For the first time she could introduce herself how she wanted. She got to define her own self. And no one was going to stop her.”
A very enjoyable retelling of Cinderella.

I really liked Ella, Lily, Lizabetta and Heather. They were lovely characters, and I was cheering for them.
There are some of the classic elements from Cinderella that had been changed, but it did not bother me.

This was fine - I thought some parts of it were really sweet (for example the scene where Lilly helps Ella do her makeup in the bathroom) but other parts were a bit weird (for example a really long scene about eating sushi at the ball). The romance was kind of boring but I did like the tie in with the roses. I don't really get why the stepmother wanted Ella to wear a dress to the ball in the first place (like she says it's to humiliate her but if she wants to wear dresses and used to do so regularly why would it bother her?) and it probably would have worked better having her sneak out. There were also a few irritating typos. Overall though simple sweet story with a positive message.
