“ ‘Because you’re special to Wonderland, Alice, and he knew he could love you. We all love you.’ ” 
 
Ask Alice is a dark romance why-choose Alice in wonderland retelling. 
 
I was sold from the blurb alone, and the more I read, the more I fell in love. 
 
I’m trash for anything Disney and fairy tale related, and this was no exception. 
 
Alice and the guys are a great dynamic and I loved how protective they all are of her. Every single guy has something different to contribute to their relationship with her and seeing them play off each other is so well done. 
 
Frillman paints such a great picture of Wonderland, and I really enjoyed seeing Alice’s journey, not just the start from the first time she went to Wonderland, but her time back on Earth and her time in the hospital, and coming back and coming and growing more into herself again. 
 
A great start to her newest series and I cannot wait for the next! 

AND THAT ENDING. UGH KILL ME NOW.
 
“ ‘I’ve been starving for a long time, Butterfly, but the only thing I’ve wanted to taste is your sweet honey.’ “ 
 
“ ‘If you EVER do that to her again without being forced to, I will fucking end you.’ “ 
 
“Sometimes, Butterfly, we must have our innocence stripped away to understand who and what we truly are. We have to shed everything bright and human about us.’ “ 
 
Tw // self harm, dub con, torture, drug use, forced institutionalization
