The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. There’s a really great friends to lovers storyline going on here, alongside a fantasy universe and real life stuff. I think we can all appreciate the concept of needing an escape from the tragedies of the real world and discovering a beautiful fantasy universe à la Narnia. I did think the ending felt a little drawn out, and I didn’t love the “storyteller’s corner” device - for a lot of the book I was saying “omg let me just read the fairy tale without explaining that this is a fairy tale” BUT it was still a little charming, I’ll give it a pass.
Would definitely check the CWs, there are a few heavy themes around the characters who need/find a fantasy world.
