Heartless By: Marissa Meyer

    So I know I said I was going to read the picture of Dorian Grey, but I couldn't get into it a t first, I might try again when I'm older. Either was this book is heartless, (get the pun) it hurt my soul in a way it shouldn't be hurt, I loved this book so much though. It's by Marissa Meyer who is an amazing author, I highly recommend any of her books. Heartless has been on my to be read list for a while now, and I'm so happy to have finally got my hands on it. Another thing that made this book better for me was that I love Alice in Wonderland  this book put a nice twist to the original tale of curiosity and upside-down-ness and created a whole new side of wonderland that has yet to be seen until this book. I fell in love with the characters, I screamed with them, cried with them, stepped through the looking glass with them, and experienced an adventure of a life time. Might of developed a small crush on Jest 🤷, who knows. Please, if you can read this book, I know I say this about most books that I review, but I always mean it, especially this one. I would like to thank Marissa Meyer for writing such a beautiful piece of literature, and I'm so glad she chose the profession of a writer because she is amazing at her job. Although I am quite upset about something that happens in the book, which I cannot state because it is a spoiler. This is an amazing tale of how the Queen Of Hearts became the queen of hearts, it is a tale of love not meant to be, and it is a tale of how OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!! became a thing. 

Summary from goodreads: 

Long before she was the terror of Wonderland—the infamous Queen of Hearts—she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.

Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen.

Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
