It’s not a retelling, McIntire tells you that from the beginning, but I really do enjoy it. Dark romance, villain gets the girl, that’s my shit. I did think Wendy was won over by James a bit too fast (both times), but I like them both as characters. The plot twist was an easy one to guess, though. 

Dark Romance, Insta Love, 3 3/4 🔥
