This book is fantastic. It was everything I needed.
I'll be honest. I requested this from the library because the cover looked cool. I also am slightly obsessed with various retellings of well-known stories. Because of that, this book was right up my alley.
I'll admit, I am a bit of a perfectionist. I try to not worry about it so much, but a lot of times I stress myself out to be absolutely perfect in everything I do at all times. I am a Jaclyn Hyde. It's a lifelong struggle.
Reading this book was a fresh reminder that you don't have to be perfect. Even as an adult reading this, I could really latch onto the message which was presented in such an entertaining way. It didn't come across as a corny 'you're perfect the way you are'; instead, it was an entertaining and sincere message of being yourself and not letting your mistakes weigh so heavily on your self image.
The book itself was so well-written. I was expecting it to take me a bit to finish since I just started grad school, but I flew through it in three days because I just wanted to keep read it. I was pulled in by page one and it kept my attention to the very end.
Also, I just have to say, that was one of the most perfect endings I have ever read. Everything comes together in such a satisfactory way, all the pieces really fit together. It was masterful writing to make all of those plot points converge into one coherent story and I am just in awe of its brilliance.
Such an amazing read that was funny and entertaining with a truly fantastic message that we can all learn from.
