This was a cute & fun beauty and the beast retelling. There were parts that I really enjoyed, but some of it felt more YA than adult which was fine, but I think I would’ve enjoyed it more if it was more adult (it is Disney, so I get it, but still). I also found some of the dialogue and relationship progression a little awkward at times. But overall it was a cute book and I loved the bookish setting!
