A review by brittster622
Hello, Cruel Heart by Maureen Johnson

3.0

This is the story of Estella. (Don’t you mean Cruella?)
No Cruella. Well a little I guess.

This is the story about Estella and how the events in her life led her to give in to the Cruella inside her. I enjoyed several of the aspects of this villain origin story. It was nice to see how Cruella met Horace and Jasper and this story makes their relationship believable and valuable. It was also interesting to see her love of fashion and how it drove her into the choices she made.

I thought the book was good, but I’m more excited about how it will play into the upcoming movie about Cruella, if at all. It gives me hope that the movie will be pretty good.
