3 stars Overall, a good read with helpful suggestions to better one’s relationship with food. I am not necessarily the target reader for this book, but did find some of the mindset changes helpful.I also liked its anti-diet stance and the focus on feeling comfortable with oneself. The basic premise of the book is to…

2 stars An okay read. I really enjoyed Ephron’s I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman, but this one just felt boring. Many of the stories are very specific to Ephron’s lifestyle, which makes them difficult to relate to. Some of the anecdotes are slightly interesting, but not necessarily something…

3 stars Overall, this was a good book with an interesting story. I think the main problem was the book suffered from terrible marketing. Reading the blurb gave me the general impression that it was somehow related to fairy tales and that the stepdaughters would seek revenge on their wicked stepmothers. However, as I was…

4 stars This book is weird, creepy, and unexpected in all the right ways. I’ll admit, at first I didn’t really like Hoodoo’s narration and was just going along with things. However it quickly grew on me and, as the plot picked up, I was hooked. I flew through reading this faster than I’d anticipated….

5 stars An absolutely fantastic read! Beautifully-written with gorgeous illustrations. This is a lovely book. One of the aspects of the book that I really liked is that the hijab is not presented as an obstacle of any sort in the story. It is not something the characters are embarrassed by or learn to accept….

2 stars For the most part, the book was good. In comparison to the first book, the plot is much faster as there is not as much buildup and world building needed. There is quite a bit of explanation as to what happened in the first book so this could be read as a standalone…
