I love fairy tales and I love poetry so I thought I would love this, but it fell flat. The accompanying photographs were uninspired and seemed to be thrown in only to distract from the paltry poems. The poems took fairy tale elements and twisted them up into modern day issues, but after reading thirteen poems out of fifty about anorexia, I can't help but feel that Heppermann was more determined to create a book of modern poems than she was determined to actually create something interesting or new. Many of the poems are just statements on feminism, which would be great if they had substance, while others ended on such a bizarre or abrupt note that I found myself constantly checking the page number because I thought I must be missing the ending. Overall a disappointment because this could have been wonderful.
