Wow wow wow! Part of the reason I read this book was because I heard it was banned/not available in certain counties due to the subject matter. 

I thought to myself, meh, probably dramatic, but it really was that bad. There’s a certain topic that is the basis for the book, and had this trigger warning been present, I wouldn’t have read this book. 

I couldn’t read it all in one setting and almost considered not finishing, but I’m so glad I did. It really picked up in the second half of the book and that’s when I was hooked on vengeance for the characters. 

I think if I had read/watched Alice in Wonderland I would have enjoyed this book a lot more, but it was still really good. 

The chemistry and story line between the MMC AND FMC was phenomenal and my god. 

This book is NOT for the weak, and the first few chapters will determine if this will be a DNF for you.

I understand that this is outlined in a world of fantasy (Wonderland) but there were some elements that could have been a little more grounded.

I would have liked to see a little more character development, but the inclusion of mental issues revolving child abuse was appreciated. Assistance was accessable but was not obtained was problematic for me. /

As Dolly, Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories, so I'm always eager to read all kinds of retellings or books inspired by it. And Sick Fux was one of my favorites, in a dark way. 
 I loved Rabbit and Dolly was the cutest and they make such a good couple in their own toxic and dark way. Loved to see them getting revenge from those who abused them.
