Shoes: A Reluctant Fairy Tale Kindle Edition

A Short Fairy Tale.

It’s pretty obvious if you think about it that it wasn’t a magical girdle that Aphrodite had. It was a pair of magic shoes. So where are those shoes now? Making the rounds with mortal women!
Grace Gallagher would be the first to say she’s nothing special. Short, on the plump side, with a failing bookstore, she is the black sheep of her large family. More than anything she wants to live her own life, have an adventure, maybe even a little romance like in those books she hides from her parents.
Then a strangely handsome man drops off a package at the shop, addressed to her. Inside are a pair of shoes.

was a cute storyline though, as is the case of many of the e-books, should have been proofed and/or edited by someone skilled in English...quite a few errors.

4.0 out of 5 stars Her Mother was even worse. It was not quite a Cinderella story though ...

This was a cute novelette about the put-upon sister in a group of sisters who could not see her true worth. Her Mother was even worse. It was not quite a Cinderella story though there are certainly elements of it. For a light escape I recommend this heartily.

Lots to unpack in this story, but a sweet ending, I felt really sorry for the groom, and disliked her whole family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Duality in many forms.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2020

A very interesting take on the Cinderella story mixing in a different form of magic and the duality of love. It is unusual and whilst slow at times for me gets bonus points for the use of Oma (Austrian way of saying Grandma) in the book! It made me miss my Oma. I enjoyed the boost in confidence whilst at the same time the crashes of societal attitudes. I highly enjoyed this growth of the main character even though there was a level of shallowness to all the others. A fun read.
