I absolutely do not like rating books low, especially not an ARC. I apologize to the author if they ever see this.

Upon reading the blurb and seeing the cover, I really thought this would be right up my alley. Anything sleeping beauty tends to draw me in and mixing other fairy tales always means success to me.

While I do appreciate the attempt here, this was a book I picked up and could only read a few pages at a time. I wasn't drawn in. I didn't mind putting it down and was not eager to pick it back up. I read a few others books to get me out of the funk this one seemed to keep placing me in.

I really wanted this one to work too, so I would keep diving back in. Maybe it was Bitsy, the not like other girls, not beautiful protagonist. Or maybe it was the story just seemed overpacked and left me feeling
lost and wondering what I might have skipped over by mistake. I'm not sure but this missed the mark for me.
