A modern-day fairy tale which wraps together a number of Sleeping Beauty tales with one first-person narrator (Zinnia Gray) who is destined to die some time near her twenty-first birthday. She goes to a birthday party thrown by her best friend Charm which is, of course, Sleeping Beauty themed. At midnight, Zin purposely pricks her finger on the spinning wheel and is immediately transported to another version of the story, one that is more traditional.
A quick read, Harrow packed a lot of story and emotion into it. There was also a bunch of history in the versions. This is going to be weird because it was only 124 pages in my ebook but I thought it could have been even tighter but this was a good story and I liked that it wasn't a perfect HEA.
Three stars
