This book is
the perfect match for whoever has been looking for a Rapunzel retelling after
seeing and falling for the Disney movie Tangled!
When I first
saw this cover come on the website I just had to see what it was about, besides
the obvious of it being about Rapunzel haha. So when I read the line “But when school demands allow her access to
the Internet, she discovers Facebook…” I was sold, clicked the request
button and within a few hours later I was excited to see that I was accepted to
view this title and actually it was the first title I was accepted on NetGalley
so I felt fan-freaking-tastic!
The story
was smooth, developed perfectly, and the pacing was just right. We got to know
a little bit about Rapunzel before the author entered in Fane but when he came
into the picture it felt just….right!
Him accepting her request was sweet but when they started messaging each other,
first him just trying to figure out who she was, and then it grew into
something more. Something she’s needed to make her life more bearable,
something that in the end actually makes her feel alive and that’s something she’s never felt before. And I know that
feeling as my boyfriend has given that feeling to me too, the moment I met him.
<3
Fane was
sweet and charming, her knight in shining armor. When he came into her life he
was able to put the pieces of her life together and give her adventures she’s
never dreamed of, all those moments were sweet and I smiled from ear to ear
when I read the words of those scenes.
Now when you
find out why she’s been locked up since birth as she sees it, it’s a completely
new twist of why she’s up there and yet it’s somewhat similar to Tangled but
only in a magical sense. When it all unfolded I was shocked, mouth agape, and I
couldn’t stop clicking it to the next page to see what was going to happen
next.
Overall, this is a must buy! For the
love of fairy tales, to love of sweet innocent romances, clean reads, and for
the love of Rapunzel. If you love all those things then you’ll just love this
book.
Happy Reading Everybody!
