The Modern Fairies by Clare Pollard
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
DNF at 15%.
What pulled my interest was the premise of the story: people regaling their life story through fairytales, let's go!
The parts where we got the snippets of the fairytales were interesting to me, but the characters telling these stories were just not interesting and fell flat, in my opinion.
The writing gives the air of wanting to come off as whimsical, but I missed some depth into the emotions and feelings. Why did they gather? We get superficial descriptions of the bourgeoisie in attendance at the event, but no information on why we should care about them.
Unfortunately, it is just not enough to make me want to continue the story. Unfortunately.

I received an ARC through Netgalley. My opinions are my own.
