I adored this book. I wish I could have written it myself! (though if I had, I wouldn't permit the Brontรซ kids to take the Lord's name in vain.) This was just so delightful, so extravagantly imaginative and vivid. The descriptions of the towns and the ball gowns and the characters of Glass Town..... all I have for this story are heart eye emojis. I can't even think of how to review it in any other way.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

I think Cathrynne Valente is marvelous. This book was fun, funny, a little poignant and a lot whimsical, which is my favorite.

Many people in the reviews believe that this wouldn't be good for kids.

As a preteen advanced reader this book was divine. I love me a Valente book
