Lost was unlike anything I have read before. It tells the story of Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother in a completely new and unexpected way. It is told in diary format and was a creative way to tell the story. Frankly, even though it deviates from the original, I liked it far better. Tons more intrigue, mystery, fantasy, and romance.
The book pulled me and I couldn't put me down. The romance was so well-done and the voice of Cinderella was so perfect that it was hard to remember that it had been written by a man, I also liked that there was a bit of a message in it, with Cinderella's romance story. That loving oneself is just as important as being loved by or loving another. That added a bit of a journey to Cinderella's diary that made it much more personal and made the diary-esque style that much deeper.
The second book, Style, is out now and I am going to be reading that, too!
