Title: Heartless 

1. Author Marissa Meyer

2. Brief summary:  Heartless serves as an introduction to the Queen of Hearts and why she is so “heartless” in the story/movie “Alice in wonderland”.

3. I like this book and would like to recommend it because: you get to understand Catherine better throughout this journey with her and how she was just an innocent baker to now a bloodthirsty and heartless Queen. It made me realize that most villains are not necessarily bad people from birth therefore teaches me not to judge people so easily without knowing what they could have possibly gone through to make them who they are today. As a person who enjoys angst-filled, romance and mystery books. I believe that this book certainly ticks all the right boxes.
