I went into this book honestly not expecting very much at all. 
In fact, I was pretty sure that I was going to hate it if I'm being honest. 

Retellings of fairytales can often fall kind of flat. 
And I don't tend to enjoy romance as a genre. 

But I was actually very pleasantly surprised!

This geeky, modern-day, reimagined telling of Cinderella was actually pretty fraking good!

Sure, it has its fair share of silly, over the top, eye-rolling moments. 
But it more than makes up for those with its cosy charm, cute diverse characters and heapings upon heapings of awesome nerdy references! 

The story alternates between Ella and Darien, each telling their side of the story. And I think it's this choice of telling which keeps the pace of the story interesting. 
Though I was always much more interested in Darien's side of the story. 
Elle came across rather judgemental and superior in my opinion, at least at the start of the story - she does become more likeable as the tale unfolds. 

This is actually a romance which I enjoyed following!
And that a HUGE deal for me.
I am shook. 

Read and rejoice, fellow geeky bookworms!
