Lil is an old woman who works in a bookstore in New York. She spends her days shelving books and being lonely. She wasn't always this way though. She once was Cinderella's fairy godmother, but was banished to the human world after that fateful night at the ball. One day she meets a young lady and is convinced that she was sent to be her fairy godmother. That she can fix the wrongs of the past, and redeem herself to the fairy world again.

This was an interesting read. I liked that the story was a twist on Cinderella. The ending was a little confusing for me. I was kind of confused about what was reality and what wasn't. I don't know if the author meant for it to be that way. Maybe that's what you're suppose to take from the story, that it can be interpreted either way. The main character is very sad. She lives in the past and yearns to return to the world where she belongs. I also thought it was interesting how the author portrayed Cinderella. Very different from the classic version. I would definitely read another of her novels. If you're a fan of books with twists on fairy tales or looking for something a little different I would recommend this book.
