A wild ride of a book about the sometimes dangerously blurry line between the "real" world and the world of stories. If you like your fairy tales on the creepy side, this one's for you.

bookishgia's review against another edition
problematic discussions of racism and white privilege, the most insufferable main character who used her anger and virtuous violence to propel herself forward but had no regret or mind to the others around her. I stopped at 49% when some secondary antagonists came back on page urging Alice to unalive herself to "make a door" and save Finch, who was just revealed to have betrayed her. Extremely triggering for some and should not have been included
