This book is definitely young young adult. I certainly enjoyed this much more when I was 14 but for what it was, it was good. Nothing really special but cute nonetheless. Although I greatly wish the author didn’t have to bring up his incredibly blue eyes and gigantic hands all the time 😭

A meet-cute enemies-to-lovers retelling of Beauty and the Beast (I think).
When Princess Jaya Rao learns that the son of her family's nemesis is at the boarding school Jaya and her sister, Isha, will be attending, Jaya plots for Grey to fall in love with her then break his heart as revenge on his family.
As the school term goes on and the plan is in place, Jaya finds herself falling for Grey. How can she separate herself from revenge, finding out who she is and her sense of duty as a Royal heir?
I had fun reading this rom-com with so many problems that kept popping up and the different and diverse characters. Hoping to read the next book soon.

I am ultimately confused. I loved the enemies to lovers and it turning into real feelings for each other, but I felt some of the writing was really repetitive and Jaya’s mentality, while I can understand it in a way, it’s a mentality that I have a hard time swallowing. But on the other hand, this book was enjoyable.
