It was a short read, and not something I would pick up on my own, but it wasn't boring. The poems didn't form any sort of cohesive story and that took me out of it a little. There were a few in here that I really loved.

I appreciated what Christine Heppermann set out to do: write a feminist poetry collection through the eyes of women (especially teens/young adults) while calling back to fairy tales that we all know and love. However, I just didn't click with her style, and can honestly say I really only enjoyed a few poems out of the fifty that were written. The photographs were stunning, but it just wasn't enough to fully pull me in.
