Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi
4.0

Really enjoyed this book—I picked it up because I heard it billed as a retelling of Snow White, though it's less a retelling and closer to a riff on the story and on fairy tales in general. Elegantly executed, this story walks the line of American magical realism perfectly and I only wish it lasted longer.
