A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
4.0

I really enjoyed A Curse So Dark and Lonely. I would even say it is my favourite Beauty and the Beast retelling I have read so far. The book has dual narration by Harper and Rhen. Harper is a girl from Washinton DC, who happens to have cerebral palsy (CP). Rhen is the crown prince of Emberfall. Harper gets accidentally kidnapped to the world of Emberfall and that is where the story takes off.

I found this book so enjoyable especially because Harper is from our world which even let to some funny moments in the book
SpoilerFor example, teaching guards to fistbump, the "Kingdom of Disi" I just love that stuff


I recommend this book to everyone who likes fairy tale retellings, slow-burning romances, great male-female friendships, and mystical worlds.
