The reviled villainesses of Snow White, Cinderella, and Rapunzel team up to set the record straight in a subversively funny short story by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay.
Envious queen? Evil stepmother? Kidnapping hag? Elsinora, Gwendolyn, and Marguerite are through with warts-and-all tabloids, ugly lies, and the three ungrateful brats who pitted them against each other and the world. But maybe there's more to the stories than even the Wickeds know. Is it time to finally get revenge? After all, they're due for a happily-enough-ever-after. Even if they have to write it themselves.

This is my first time reading the author. She's been on my radar for a while, but I've never got around to reading her work. I enjoyed The Wickeds, so she's been bumped to the top of my list. It's a long list. I liked the way this story focuses on perception of good and evil in fairy tales especially princesses and the so-called villain such as Cinderella's wicked stepmother. The Wickeds cleverly pays with fairy-tale tropes and expectations. The women the story focuses on are considered villains but is this the whole truth? I really enjoyed this.
