[Review] The Lost Story by Meg Shaffer

Yes! Yes! Yes! I loved this modern, adult fairy tale so much. And for so many reasons. It has deep, diverse, and fully actualized characters. It has a plot that grabbed me hard and held me for the entirety of the adventure. It has witty banter, a tender love story, hard topics, a light tone, and lessons about finding ourselves and finding courage. And, most importantly, this book is a tribute to all the storytellers of the world—without them, how else would we know that magic still exists?

I smiled. I cried. I loved. Between this book and The Wishing Game, Meg Shaffer has a well-earned spot on my favorite author list.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released July 16, 2024.
