Before Midnight: A Retelling of "cinderella" by Cameron Dokey

4.0

I loved the elements in this novel which gave the step-mother and step-sisters good character development and in which these characters were good instead of being the typical Cinderella villains. I liked how it gave more attention to her mother and her death. One of my only criticisms is about the whole "love at first sight" thing I find cheesy and I think the romance could've been better and they could've gotten to know each other a bit more. It isn't surprising it was written that way though because fairy tales are well-known for love at first sight. Overall, this was an excellent book and I'd definitely recommend it.
