Will no longer be reading or reviewing this book due to lack of interest in the title, and the fact that the title has been archived.

I received this from NetGalley ages ago, saw some poor reviews and wasn’t quite so keen to read it. It’s languished on my iPad for ages. That wasn’t totally fair.
When I read the précis of this I was excited. Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts backstory. What could go wrong?
Unfortunately, for a story like this you have to empathise with the main character. Dinah is introduced to us and we should love her - left alone, lots of pressure, dead mother and emotionally abusive father - but she was simply not that endearing. She had a lovely relationship with her mad brother Charles, the hatter, but spent far too much time whining.
I felt this was a book I found entertaining enough as I was reading, but there is nothing very memorable about it. Disappointed.
