Somewhere between 2-3 stars. SUPER mixed feelings about this one. The overall story was a cool retelling, but the writing style didn't work for me at allllll. Some parts really dragged but other parts were pretty interesting.

 Full review: 
 I definitely have some mixed feelings on this one. I'm tempted to lower the rating because of all the things that bugged me, but there were quite a few things I liked as well. 
 The overall story behind this one was really cool, from a retelling standpoint. All of the elements that actually connected to Snow White were really well-done. Some of them made you think a little bit, and I bet I even missed some of the references to the original story. The plot was a really interesting take on that story and didn't seem too similar. I have to give this book points for that. It was also cool to have the three different perspectives in the story, starting with Violet's backstory, how that impacts Celine in her part, and how Goose finishes off the book. 
 The characters were pretty good. Again, I liked getting a glimpse at Violet's backstory so you could really see how and why she got to be the way she was. It was a little bit easier to be KIND OF sympathetic towards her when she starts being insane. Celine was a nice enough main character but was really just (1) smart and (2) obsessed with a singer named Jonah Prince. We don't get too much more than that. Goose was probably my favorite but even then he wasn't super memorable. 
 The pacing and writing style really bugged me. There were a few (okay, a lot) of places in the book that draaaaggged on and on. I was bored a lot of the time. The dialogue and writing overall was kind of choppy and off too. There were some parts that felt really forced and not actually teenager-like. I can't think of specific examples, but the writing just didn't jive with me. I think for that reason, I probably won't try another Alex Flinn retelling. 
 The ending seemed a bit too convenient. I won't spoil anything, but it was far-fetched. I mean yeah, this is a fairy tale retelling and involves magic, so it's all kind of far-fetched... but this was different. What needed to be done was very obvious to me and it bugged me that literally no one thought of it. They all jumped to a different conclusion and the book dragged on forever. 
 Overall, I can't say I'd wholeheartedly recommend this one. I don't think I'll bother with the author's other books because of the writing style, but the retelling aspects were cool.
