I love retellings, and this futuristic retelling of Rapunzel was a super fun read. Despite some issues I had with it, it had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. The story was compelling and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. 

It touches quite heavily on parental abuse, but I do feel it could have gone a little deeper. The two main villains of the story, Fawn and Paul Green, both went back and forth between seeming super sinister and just misunderstood throughout the book and I'm not sure which was the truth.

I do wish there was more world building, because it's set in a futuristic society but it's hard to understand why society got to the place described in the book and I think learning more about that would've been interesting. 

There are also 'random facts' throughout the book which are kind of weird because some are true facts but some are made up.

Thanks to netgalley for the ARC
