Gingerbread - Helen Oyeyemi

Hmm.

Confession: I am not sure what to make of this book. It's kind of a magical realism story that is also kind of a play on fairytale tropes. At times, it held my interest quite well but then it would get rambly and start to feel like a rough draft from a Creative Writing MFA candidate or something. It was a little all over the place. I was hoping to love it but that didn't happen. Oh well.

The cover of this book is really nice, and it's not brown, but because gingerbread is usually brown I am going to claim it for that category in the Color-Coded Reading Challenge.
