I really enjoyed this book. I loved how the author took the typical Cinderella story and saw it as an opportunity to create a much more powerful story. Her desire to show and describe the seemingly indescribable struggles of those who actually battle with anxiety, depression and PTSD really comes through, making the characters a little TOO relatable at times. But that is a good thing. It shows that it better portrays the struggles that people go through each day.
Even though it is a great book to help describe the battles of those with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, it is also a good read. It is a quick read, and I really enjoyed it. It isn't an incredibly depressing book with no hope, as some other books that seek to better illustrate human struggles tend to be. The story is infused with hope and strength that can help inspire the reader to have hope for themselves in whatever they are battling.
Overall, it is a wonderful book. One I would and do highly recommend to my close friends who have undergone traumatic experiences and/or struggle with anxiety, depression, etc. It reminds us that there is light in the darkness, therefore light in our own shadows.
