“I read this after hearing Aimee Bender talk about this book online. I may use one or two of the stories for my creative writing classes because this book is a retelling of several fairy tales with more adult undertones, including Bluebeard, Beauty and the Beast, Puss in Boots, and Red Riding Hood. It's an enjoyable read, and I'd like to look at some of her other work. It also made me think about the conventions of fairy tales and how we can shift them so the stories become more relevant. ”
