We are back to a five star rating for a book in this series, I loved Wretched almost as much as Hooked.
I do have to say that it took me a stupid amount of time to realise what story this was inspired by, even with one of the characters being named Dorothy. I was like "why is she called Dorothy? That's like in The Wizard of Oz"...I didn't connect the dots and I don't know why. I think I forgot this series was supposed to be retelling-adjacent.
ANYWAY, I loved the storyline as always, and I did eventually see the elements from Oz thrown in, but I wouldn't say this is super close to the source material.
The romance was perfect, the writing too, I loved the characters and the audio and I hope the next three books will be just as good.
