It's clear from the first word of this story that every sentence was carefully considered - the words strung together are both aesthetically pleasing and meaningful. Lesbian retellings of fairy tales mean a lot to me as a lesbian, because they rework the old dynamics in a way that I can identify with. I did not anticipate any part of this retelling, from the villain to the dwarves to the use of apple imagery: it was all delightfully new. Jennifer Diemer's writing is so solid in every aspect, from the individual sentences to the structure of the storytelling, and together makes for a truly enjoyable and significant package. There were many times when I read a description of something sensory or a feeling, and I thought "I know exactly what that looks like/feels like, but I never could have put it into words to capture it as well as this does." I absolutely recommend this to everyone, anywhere on the gender and affectional orientation spectrum.

O, what a bewitching, inventive re-telling of Snow White! I don't even think it can be called a re-telling as it is so very original. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and flipping each page with reckless abandon. Wonder-full, beauty-full, and simply perfect. Your heart will sigh the moment you finish it.
