"In present-day New York City, five women meet in a basement support group to process their traumas. Bernice grapples with the fallout of dating a psychopathic, blue-bearded billionaire. Ruby, once devoured by a wolf, now wears him as a coat. Gretel questions her memory of being held captive in a house made of candy. Ashlee, the winner of a Bachelor-esque dating show, wonders if she really got her promised fairy-tale ending. And Raina's love story will shock them all. Though the women start out wary of one another, judging each other's stories, gradually they begin to realize that they may have more in common than they supposed... What really brought them here? What secrets will they reveal? And is it too late for them to rescue one another?"--Front jacket flap.

Modern Take on Fairytales submitted by Maria Maguire on July 11, 2023, 10:55pm This book definitely drew me in and made me want to keep reading. I grew to really like the characters and liked seeing them start to reflect on their experiences and build relationships with each other. However, I felt the ending was pretty abrupt and wished we could have seen more of what they were up to after the ending of the group.
