Truthfully, I thought this was a "Disneyland" kind of book. However, there's more to Milly's story than meets the eye. I'm definitely reading this book through.

This is where fantasy meets technology — a true modern day fairy tale. Milly is a fictional embodiment of most women in their midlife. An interesting book to read, I reckon.

Sounds like a great read with a very positive message. We all have self-doubt and contradictory beliefs in ourselves, making the book relatable, and hopefully it acts as a beacon of hope and positivity for those that are struggling at the moment. Thank you so much for your detailed and well-written review! Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:

While I enjoy fantasy, the introductionof acontrolling Alexa device does seem a bit far-fetched. However, Milly seems to be a sympathetic character, and it's an interesting storyline. What a shame about all the errors though.
I'll read this at some stag, but it's not top of my list.

When I saw the title, I first thought, this is another beauty competition, I was actually surprised that the author was able to carve out an original story from this. Congrats on BOTD.

I especially like the blend of fantasy with issues like body dysmorphia, inferiority complex etc. The fact that it is a novella length also works in its favor. Thank you for the review.

This book raises a challenging question given the rapid pace of technology - trust Amazon Alexa enough to take decisions in your place? The humorous self-critical theme is also appealing to me. Thank you for your insightful review!

This cleverly constructed story about healing and redemption is a worthy read. I am a fan of fantasy reads, and I think this novella will be a great choice. Congrats on the BOTD!

An easy read about self realization and self love. I also admire the way the author project the protagonist, someone with a doubtful beginning but gained better notoriety along the way. Congrats on BOTD.

Wow! Such a wonderful premise for a book! A fantasy story that creatively provides solutions to self-image problems sounds informative and one I can enjoy reading. I also like the fact that the author incorporated humor in it through Milly, and so, I can't wait to read it. Thank you for such an excellent review!
