I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
I already knew I loved Alice in Wonderland retellings. I just love Wonderland as a setting, but I didn't know what to expect.
I liked Catherine as a character, I liked learning more about her dreams and her ambitions. I absolutely loved Jest. His sense of humor was absolutely perfect.
However, I was just frustrated by everything that was happening. There's a lot of sexism and fatphobia and I just wanted to yell at a lot of characters.
I also knew where it was headed, which kind of made me lose interest over time.
It was still a very enjoyable read and I would recommend it.
