Poppy has all of the trappings of the stereotypical Mean Girl – she’s alluring, she’s domineering, she’s a gun at emotional manipulation. Of the three protagonists, the most contentious figure is undoubtedly the Machiavellian Poppy. The characters in Wink, Poppy, Midnight are certainly memorable. On the other, the plot is overly convoluted – with its ultimate execution falling short of the author’s ambitious plans.Įveryone loved me and I loved myself and I got my way and did what I wanted and I still left people feeling like they were lucky to know me. On the one hand, I found the vivid writing and fairy tale imageries enchanting. I am firmly on the fence regarding this (I know, neutrality is a bit boring – boo!). What about the content, did you say? I know this book has been met with extremely mixed reception – with people either dismissing it as pretentious nonsense or revering it as a masterpiece. They are the three stories that all other stories are made up of. The typography, colouring and embellishments on it are all A+++ *satisfied sigh* Firstly, let me just get it out of my system and gush about that cover! Now, I don’t consider myself superficial – but I 100% purchased this book based on the merits of its stunning cover alone.
