This was not my favorite Melanie Dickerson book, but it was still a cute story.

Ah, this was such a sweet story! 

As usual, Melanie Dickerson didn't fail to deliver a lovely fairytale retelling. She always writes the kinds of books that are made for cozy winter evenings...the ones I can bring with me to snuggle up under the blankets with. They aren't usually incredibly deep (though I loved the themes in this one!), but they're always such a pleasure to delve into. ^_^

I was wavering between giving it 4 or 5 stars, but since I loved Westley so much, I guess 5 stars it shall be. ;)
