I've never been a fan of Alice in Wonderland but this tale of forbidden love was just so good. 
 First of all, Catherine loves food and sweets as much as I do (bonus points for that!) She's sweet, kind, lovable, passionate, and ambitious (but a bit naive). She's like a Powerpuff girl that's made of sugar and spice, and everything nice. It's hard to believe that she would ever become the evil cold-blooded Queen of Hearts. 
 And then there's Jest. 
 omg. 
 He had my heart when he said "Some say it is better to have eaten and lost than never to have eaten at all." I totally agree. Words to live by. (Except in the case of food poisoning...) 
 Jest is witty and whimsical. He made me laugh. He made me cry. 
 I think he may have stolen my heart.
