While I have enjoyed Frampton’s other works, this one didn't really do it for me. I really liked the premise and characters, but the story as a whole felt somewhat anticlimactic.
The protagonists search for an idea of self in her new station was a very appealing core story. If you ignore the seemingly endless use of (incorrectly applied) “oxymoron,” Ana Maria presents a great retelling of the Cinderella story. As a leading lady she is smart, likable and generally trying to do the right thing. However, that is about as far as we get in character development. Her foil for our mighty hero, Nash, brings a bit of development for him, but this friends to lovers story doesn't really “get there” when all is said and done.
This was still an enjoyable read, and would make a good addition to your summer reads list, but given what I know this author can do, this wasn't what I was expecting when handed a new Frampton to review.
