Clara's Soldier: A Retelling of The Nutcracker by Brittany Fichter

4.0
When my book buddy suggested this book, being a lover of The Nutcracker, I had to get it! I loved the similarities and overall concept of the retelling and the focus on such a difficult issue like PTSD. I loved the representation of this mental health issue so many deal with and Fitcher wrote it really well. She did a wonderful job making this relatable and conveyed so well how both sides of a relationship can feel while one person is experiencing the trauma. It was a quick read and definitely enjoyable. Different from most books I’ve read before but I liked the fantasy vibes.
