Oh my gosh read this book. If you see this text, get your hands on a copy of this book. Audiobook is just as good. This book is a warm tea on a cold day, a hug when you need to be held, a spot of sunshine in the clouds. I don't want to actually even say anything about the book because it could colour the way you see it and I'd rather you experience it for yourself. You deserve the love of a good book and this is a good book.

This is a very, very odd book. It's supposedly a retelling of Red Riding Hood but it deviates very heavily. Not an unwelcome thing, but it is something to be aware of. Likewise, there's a number of plot threads that are...out of place? The main character is fun while also being relatively insufferable too. I don't think I'd recommend it but I wouldn't say I wasted my time reading it.
