Linked stories subverting fairy tales that feature women who love each other and are not trying to tear each other down. The prince is not the prize. This is Donoghue, so the stories are spare and subtle and clever. Meant for teenagers but adults will also enjoy this dreamlike collection and its destabilisation of gender roles and relations. #ikissedagirl #junetunz @Cinfhen
saresmoore Want! I'm reading a pretty great collection right now, but I keep getting annoyed with all the predictably hetero characters. I was disappointed in the latest story when, halfway through, I learned the MC was supposed to be a man so that his obsession with the beautiful female became instantly unbelievable and bland.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

batsy @saresmoore It's so disappointing when that happens isn't it. Especially when the hetero relationships also fit tired tropes, like the woman always has to be beautiful and the man can be whatever. #rudeladyreadersaretired 8y

saresmoore Truth! There was even a pseudo love triangle with a genius old professor. 🤦♀️ I will definitely pick up this Donoghue, though! 8y
