Conceal, Don't Feel

2019Jen Calonita

3/5

I'm a huge lover of a lot of Disney movies. And initially I also really loved Frozen. And then the hype happened. Everyone was talking about Frozen. Frozen was around every corner, in every store. Every girl wanted to be Elsa (and surprisingly never Anna, because she doesn't have magic, I assume?) and Let it Go (in the version of Idina that gives me headaches) echoed everywhere around me. I never watched the movie again.But, this book reminded me why I loved the story so much and what the true power of this story is. This twisted tale is different from the other twisted tales I've read so far, but in its own way it's still amusing, entertaining and unique. A lot of scenes from the original movie make an appearance in this book, but twisted, in a different context or at a different time. It creates a strange familiar and yet original feel at once.And the heart of the movie, the heart of the story? That has only grown stronger and more prominent in this version of the tale. This tale is even more about the love between two sisters, unconditionally and without doubt. It's even more about two lost girls finding their way back to each other, facing every obstacle. It's about two young women knowing one thing for sure in a world full of questions: They need to help the other, because the other needs them.Thank you so much for letting me rediscover this tale and why I loved it so much! (And thank you for making Hans's betrayal hurt even more in this version of the tale ;-))
