It's a bit crazy when it comes to explanations and the romance, but it was inspired/based on a fairytale, so I forgave that pretty easily. It's one of the better Rapunzel re-tellings I've read though!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561809063334102736.post-23252154410191323402013-06-03T20:48:45.681-04:002013-06-03T20:48:45.681-04:00It's pretty rare that a book can get away with...It's pretty rare that a book can get away with quoting something contemporary or current, without me feeling like it was already cliched. In this case, quoting a Paramore song, I probably would have closed the book and walked away!

I'm...I think I'm going to pass on this one. I'm not really that into insta-love and the last Alex Flinn novel I read wasn't my favorite. Plus, I just read a really good retelling of Rapunzel called Rapunzel Untangled, so I'm good. :)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788568691345783808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561809063334102736.post-77989615566845446402013-05-27T14:12:05.916-04:002013-05-27T14:12:05.916-04:00I had the same feelings about this one.

I can understand the insta-love in most fairytales (since they are so short, there isn't much time to develop the romance) but this could have been so much better. It didn't work for me and I felt like puking during some of those cliché sentences :p<br />Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.com
