Heartless by Marissa Meyer
Goodreads Summary:
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend and supply the Kingdom of Hearts with delectable pastries and confections. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next Queen.
At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the king's marriage proposal, she meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship.
Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
Expected Publication: 8th November 2016

This book is a sort of fairy tale retelling as it is based on the Queen of Hearts from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I absolutely love Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and I equally enjoy various interpretations of the story, so how can I not read this book?!
