#Review of Cinderella's Dress by @shonnaslayton

Being seventeen during World War II is tough. Finding out you’re the next keeper of the real Cinderella’s dresses is even tougher.
Kate simply wants to create window displays at the department store where she's working, trying to help out with the war effort. But when long-lost relatives from Poland arrive with a steamer trunk they claim holds the Cinderella’s dresses, life gets complicated.
Now, with a father missing in action, her new sweetheart, Johnny, stuck in the middle of battle, and her great aunt losing her wits, Kate has to unravel the mystery before it’s too late.

After all, the descendants of the wicked stepsisters will stop at nothing to get what they think they deserve.

Biography

SHONNA SLAYTON is the author of the YA novel Cinderella's Dress, out June 3, 2014 with Entangled Teen. She finds inspiration in reading vintage diaries written by teens, who despite using different slang, sound a lot like teenagers today. While writing Cinderella's Dress she reflected on her days as a high-school senior in British Columbia when she convinced her supervisors at a sportswear store to let her design a few windows--it was glorious fun while it lasted. When not writing, Shonna enjoys amaretto lattes and spending time with her husband and children in Arizona.

So this one turned out to be a DNF for me.  I was almost 20% in when I just had to call it quits.  I was falling asleep.  Why?  Because nothing was going on.  I LOVED how the story started.  A pregnant queen telling her servant that she had to flee with a neckless and a dress. How cool does that sound. 

Then we are wisked away to New York 1944.  And out main character is Kate  A teen who is drug around to movie additions and fashion shows. And thats it!!  

 I love retellings and this one just fell flat.....on its face.   It was very slow and boring and I just can't waste anymore time on it. 

"All opinions are 100% honest and my own."

If I had this one in print I would be putting it up for trade
