Anyone But Ivy Pocket

The book's humor feels so fresh and lively — I wonder if the author drew from personal childhood misadventures or aimed to subvert traditional fairy tale tropes.

Her confidence shifts throughout the story, making me wonder if she’s intentionally flawed or if her growth was unplanned. How did others interpret her character development?

The unpredictable plot kept me guessing, and I’m curious whether the author mapped out all her escapades beforehand or let the story unfold organically.
