Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.  

Rating: 3.5/5 

I really enjoyed reading this poetry collection. The writing was really beautiful and each one of the poems was laced with so much emotion, I felt really drawn in the entire time. However, I don’t quite understand why this book was being described as an retelling of fairy tales, (maybe I somehow missed that part?) I would have described it as something of an autobiographical work with elements of fantasy woven into it. 

Overall, it was a really beautiful and raw read I’d recommend to anyone interested in poetry and/or slam poetry.
