 I was really excited to read this retelling of Alice in Wonderland since I love to hear new and updated versions of fairy tales. Unfortunately, this one just seemed like every other YA book I've read. From the one parent trope (Mom's in a mental hospital), to being an outcast, to the love triangle, I just found it very predictable and hackneyed. I also don't love the Alice in Wonderland story, and this borrows from the book (or, in my point of reference, the Disney movie) extensively and I had kind of forgotten how much I disliked it and the characters Alice met in Wonderland. 
 Perhaps if you like Lewis Carroll's book, you'll like this better. Just didn't do it for me. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great.
