It was entertaining although I don't think I would re read this, it was fun and I really enjoyed it while reading but I didn't find it all that standout, Especially to the point I would re-read this over my ever growing fantasy tbr; but I'm very happy to have read it. I loved the dual timeline writing style; having not only dual character perspective but also a current/past time pov was really interesting; it is a book you need to give a bit more attention though because it took me a few chapters to fully get a grasp of all the characters and their place in past and present timelines but it is well laid out for you to eventually catch on.

Other than the incredibly detailed animal deaths/dead animals, I enjoyed this but ultimately it was a fairly 'mid' fantasy book for me personally, I had fun while reading but now that it's over I am pretty indifferent about the book and can't see myself rushing to recommend or re-reading anytime soon.  

*Thank you NetGalley and macmillan audio for this arc in exchange for my honest thoughts and review*

Melissa Albert knows how to tell a story—her compelling style made me feel like a ghost peering over the shoulders of the characters as I read this spellbinding novel.  Our Crooked Hearts is a modern fairytale with complicated relationships, tender first love, stolen memories, and witchcraft.  Told from the perspective of seventeen-year-old Ivy, and from that of her teenaged mother decades earlier, this is a book about power and betrayal, with secrets that threaten to break bonds forever.  Led by vibrant female characters and sprinkled with magic, this book asks the question, What would it take to make things right again?
