Had no idea I was trying myself into a re-telling/mash up of Beauty in the Beast lol. The main characters were really lovable, and I think it would’ve worked better, for me, without the occasional references to personified inanimate objects. Glad I stuck it out til the end though! The emotional pay off was lovely and what I needed in a time of personal anxiety and professional uncertainty
