I am writing this book review as a warning to others. 

Godmother  By: Carolyn Turgeon

So this book was super misleading. Here is the amazon description.

Product Description

A new take on Cinderella, told from the perspective of the fairy godmother living in modern-day Manhattan 


Lil is an old woman who spends her days shelving rare books in a tiny Manhattan bookstore and lonely nights at home in her apartment. But Lil has an intriguing secret. Tucked and bound behind her back are white feathery wings--the only key to who she once was: the fairy godmother responsible for getting Cinderella to the ball to unite with her Prince Charming.


But on that fateful night, something went terribly and beautifully wrong. Lil allowed herself the unthinkable: to feel the emotions of human beings and fall in love with the prince herself, going to the ball in place of Cinderella in her exquisitely gorgeous human guise. For her unforgivable mistake, she was banished to live among humans, far from her fairy sisters and their magical underwater world. But then one day she meets Veronica--a young, fair-skinned, flame-haired East Village beauty with a love of all things vintage and a penchant for falling in love with the wrong men--and suddenly it becomes clear to Lil that she’s been given a chance at redemption. If she can find a soul mate for Veronica, she may be able to right her wrong and return to the fairy world she so deeply longs for."



You know what I got? Was it a light hearted read about Cinderella from the Godmothers perspective? No! I got a depressing ass book that included an old lady masterbation scene (go on, Lil, you do you) and suicide. Is she a godmother? Or is she just a crazy old broad who cannot get over her sisters trauma? Who the hell knows? I know that I want that 2 hours of my life back. Shit- it was like that damn movie Atonement where at the end you find out everyone is just dead and it was all a damn lie. F you godmother. F you. 

0/10

Save yourselves.
