Spindled by Shanna Swendson

★★★★
Delightful, playful turn to YA here—some of it requires a bit of suspension of disbelief, but then...fairy tales. The one thing that disappointed was the romance: I know I'm an anomaly here in that I'm always whingeing about the amount of space taken up by it in YA fiction, but this could have been such a strong platonic-friendship story if it weren't for the emphasis on hearts and flowers. Two girls against the world! Still, there's room in the ending for a sequel, so I can hold out some hope of that friendship story.
