I love twisted tales and this one does not disappoint. 11 years after Alice originally "dreams" of Wonderland, she finds a way back in and is tasked with saving the world. She starts seeing similarities between Wonderland and England. Does her world need saving too?
I love how Alice is portrayed in this retelling. Often, she's shown as quite literally being mad. This Alice is a forward thinking feminist up for speaking her mind.
Thanks to #netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read an arc of #unbirthday

This is everything you could ask for in an Alice adventure; Braswell stays true to Carroll’s writing style while adding her own spins alongside of nods to the original tales and Disney retellings.

A feminist Alice fights xenophobia and oppressive men in the real world while tackling tyranny in Wonderland; what isn’t to love? You will revisit the beloved cast while delighting in the reimagined eighteen year old Alice and the ways in which her years have shifted her perspective.

Did I mention a wonderful love interest?

I can’t wait to add a copy to my personal collection, as well as my classroom library. Thank you, Netgalley, for the ARC! A very merry Unbirthday indeed.
