Your review really made me curious about this book. Not a fan of fantasy novels but this one sounds intriguing to me. I see you have done a great job on the review. Keep up the good work.

This fantasy book also has some sci-fi aspects, like the presence of Amazon Alexa and her autonomy, that sounds interesting. Also, it talks about the important issue that is the image we have of ourselves. The problem of self-depreciation is something that a lot of people pass through. That's too bad that it has so many errors. Thanks for the informative review! Great job.

I like books that urge you to question the 'automatic' tools that are available to us now. I think I'll enjoy this one. Thanks for the review!

This seems like a good read! Most especially for people who battle with self esteem issues. It would be nice to see how Mily resolved her body shaming tendency....

The story seems to be quite eccentric and fascinating at the same time. We have an Alexa that comes to life and a protagonist who is self-deprecating. You wouldn't expect anything more or less from such a wonderful fantasy tale of redemption and transformation.

Cheaters break the heart of their partners especially when those partners are faithful spouses. However, life continues and you must live your life irrespective of the discision of cheaters. I'll love to read this book. Thanks for the review.

Wow, this is a plot I have never heard of and it sounds fascinating. Plus the fact that the book deals with issues like self-criticism, body image issues, and more in a mature way, which is something I would love to see.
Great review!

Wow already salivating for this one, so many questions unanswered, did the husband continue being unfaithful, which decision did Milly made. Great review.

I'm a bit torn on this one. I can see the humor in a fairytale where Alexa is a fairy-godmother. However, I can see this kind of premise getting old/unbelievable very quickly. Thanks for a great review.

Excellent review, thanks. The story carries a message that highlights a real problem/ weakness in most people. I would enjoy this light fantasy narrative.

It does seem a good book, mostly to be appreciated by women of an age needing lies from the mirror. What is missing from the story is the wickedness of the no longer most beautiful of all women. Hopefully, some such women do not become bitter and learn to embrace their new aspect. Would that what the book is about?
Too bad the proofreading is not as good as the book deserves.
