This one is similar in retelling, but a whole new spin on everything we thought fairytales were growing up. I can relate so much to her sarcasm and I love it.Īmy- Yes, I have read a few retelling of stories in the past. It was great how she was spunky and sarcastic from the first page. There is no doubting Lilou Adler’s strength and ability to cope with difficult situations. This book has what I would actually consider a strong female lead. There are too many books with main characters who are women struggling through change in the book and their emotional journey tends to make me as a reader question them as a strong female character.

But don’t fall off!īridgette– What I liked best about the book was the main character. This book brings fairytales together with a hint of seduction and if you can handle it, it will keep you laughing and on the edge of your seat. I mean honestly, imagine the fairytales you read as a child and then add into the mix everything you know about the world as an adult. Please see above for more details on the book.
