Gretel on Her Own by Elna Holst
funny
mysterious
medium-paced
5.0
I knew this was something for me as soon as I saw the description and it did not disappoint.
Gretel on Her Own is just so fun, funny and tooth achingly sweet. A great example of a way modern authors can examine fairy tales and give us something completely new, even with the already known story. This is a well written and beyond witty contemporary retelling with a focus on a sapphic relationship and some arson. I enjoyed every minute of it and grinned through the whole thing.
If you're looking for something short that is also equally fun and well thought out, and love fairy tales in a modern world dealing with modern problems, give this a chance.
