Heartless by Marissa MeyerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"But hoping," he said, "is how the impossible can be possible after all."
Amazing. You know how the story's going to end but you hope for the happy ending all the same. I liked how the author made Wonderland seem normal. There's a scene where they're playing croquet so I'm picturing a normal game of croquet. But then hedgehogs and flamingos are mentioned and I'm like oh yeah, this is Wonderland. The romance was just an ordinary Victorian era romance that just happens be in Wonderland.
*twitches eye* I really could have done without the The Raven quotes though.

I'm blaming Marissa Meyer and Gayle Forman for my love of macarons. How had I gone 26 years without trying one?
The King's hands were soggy in hers and the wind was burning her cheeks, and all around her lobsters were being tossed out to sea and their partners were diving in after them.
