I really liked this adorable story. As a fan of the sleeping beauty story, I think this adaptation was a great homage. The main character, Zinnia, was a great take on our sleeping beauty. Not that I've experienced anything like what she has, but her backstory of being terminally ill felt authentic and interesting. I loved her relationships with the people in around her. She was a realistic twenty one year old, and I enjoyed her characterization. I also really liked the message of the book. It was a little cheesy, but in a good way. This was overall a fun, heartwarming book that I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick read.
