Midnight is looking to escape Poppy. Poppy is looking for control of her life, and maybe everyone else's. Wink is looking to spin her life into a fairy tale, complete with heroes and villains. But the heroes and the villains may not be who we think. 
 This book was marketed very heavily with the "Every story needs a hero. 
 Every story needs a villain.Every story needs a secret" tagline. Which is a dang good tagline. Congratulations if you thought that up. But it never felt as mysterious as I wanted to it be when I was actually reading. And I don't know that there are any heroes here. 
 If you've read Tucholke's Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, this will have a similar feel. But it never really feels as well developed. The plot is pretty light, and late to develop. While I can get behind a short, succinct story about a specific event, this feels either too much or not enough. And the twists aren't particularly surprising. And by the time we get to them, I don't really care. 
 I don't think the characters in this novel are meant to be likable, probably part of the reason for the shorter length. But I never feel invested in them. They want to be interesting so bad, and yet. While the style of the writing can be enjoyable, it also keeps us distanced from the characters in many ways, even as we're getting things from their three separate points of view. I wanted all of them to be more complicated. Everything in this book had the appearance of depth, but not much when you really started to dig. And the characters are perfect representations of that.
