The transformation from an aspiring baker to the notorious Queen of Hearts unfolds, painting a vivid picture of how love, loss, and ambition can lead to heart-wrenching choices. In this captivating tale, the origins of one of literature's most iconic villains are revealed, inviting readers to explore the fine line between dreams and destiny.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FLYING FUCK?! THIS BOOK SHOULD HAVE A WARNING THAT SAYS "YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE ENDING" ON THE COVER. AGHHHHHH! WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE DIED AND THAT'S HER VILLAIN STORY I CAN'T EVEN HATE HER ANYMOREEEEE. ALSO HE WAS SO CUTEEEE. All that aside I would read again. The imagery was beautiful and I got so attached to the characters even before knowing that it was the Queen of Hearts ♥️♠️
