so much fun! read in one sitting outside my work in seaport, and the entire vibe was immaculate. the story is weaved so interestingly, and so many familiar fairytale elements are reinvented in interesting and fun new ways. it was fun, funny, feminist, and almost made me cry. too bad i didn't really care about any characters other than zinnia and didn't really care about the romance. but there was a "harold, they're lesbians" joke, so.
