Zinnia Gray had an incurable disease, which caused her to die during her twenty-first year. At a Sleeping Beauty themed party for her last birthday, she accidentally pricked her finger on a spinning wheel. It sent her to another universe. Once there, she befriended another version of Sleeping Beauty and tried to keep that beauty from meeting her expected fate.
This multiverse retelling of Sleeping Beauty was an interesting twist on the classic fairytale. It was short and kept the reader engaged throughout the story. I appreciated that the author didn’t end the story in the way I expected. It was a quick and enjoyable read.
