Women are so good at obsessing over their weaknesses - an extra ten pounds, a lower grade in math than someone else, etc. But Levine paints the two characters so you can see how one, in coming to accept herself as she is, finds happiness and bestows grace on those around her, and how the other, in hating herself and trying to be other than what she is, ends up destroying the kingdom. One, however, becomes the villain, and the other, the heroine.
I pulled this book off of the Young Adult shelves expecting some light fiction, but I really enjoyed some of the deeper meanings behind this story! Yes, it is a retelling of Snow White, but with insights that really apply to most women today.įirst of all, the two most prominent female characters are alike in that they find themselves unacceptable- like two sides of a coin, even their names are like each other.
