A laughable Regency retelling of Cinderella that's as absurd as they come. Exaggerated. Secondhand-embarrassment bad. It plays up every trope in the original with astoundingly poor effects...considering this is not a fairy tale. 
 Not to mention the hard-sell of the original concept. 
 For a superior, heartbreaking, much more realistic retelling, read Julia Quinn's most excellent An Offer From a Gentleman.
