Narrative
Pumpkin gunk trails across the image from the left, falling from the carriage on the right. Text reads: Left: "Once upon a time, in Cinderella's life, her days were filled with torment and strife. She desperately wanted to go to the ball, but her step-sisters said "no" - which is not fair at all! Luckily, her Fairy Godmother shows up, and fixes ALL of her problems with magic and make-up. Though this fairytale is not how it looks, the narrative differs from other books." Right: "The Clock Struck Twelve. Gabriella Wilde."
Cover for Romeo and Rosaline Juliet, drawn as red stage curtains. Front reads “Romeo + Rosaline”, the back of Romeo can be seen writing “Juliet”, and “Rosaline” has been crossed out. “Gabriella Wilde” is also written on the front. Mock reviews fill the back: “ “Alright, I guess…” - Romeo”, “ 5 stars - Benvoli-oh”, “ “Couldn’t have said it better myself!” - W. Shakespeare”, “ “Smart, witty and powerful” - G. Wilde”. The other characters line the edges of the back, staring at a hand in shock, anger, and embarrassment.
