It was a fantastic read, this is what Wish (Disney Film) was trying to be but dummed its slef down to pretend it was for kids, despite the book not being for kids. I enjoyed this thoughly, it does feel like a drag to get through at certin points, but I still highly recommend especially if you love fairytale re-tellings, but made to be more inclusive and with a lot more of an important message or theme then the orignale. Please do yourself a favour and read it. 💙

I loved this book, I read it in two days. The story is original and a very different approach to a traditional fairy tale. I did find that the protagonist got over her first love too quickly. But all in all it’s a nice fast read.
