"Was this one of those limited-time, fairy-tale romances, one of the ones that happened because of a castle and a curse and lots of magic, but that would vanish when real life started again?"
This was cute. I've been waiting to read this book since I found out the second book in this series was gonna be a BatB retelling. Overall, the story is really cute. If you enjoy adaptations and books about books this will be up your alley. I think my major annoyance was the under developed characters and repetition,. Often, it would feel like we awe building up to something and then the conflict was just gone. I also, didn't realize that Gavin was supposed to be the Gaston stand in until the LAST 10%. I think overall, as a BatB retelling telling its good. Very sweeet and I can't wait for the next in the series!
