Such a sweet book!! I knew I had to read it when I saw Jasmine Guillory was writing a Beauty & the Beast retelling. If you are planning to read this, know that Guillory's usual spice is significantly toned down (rated G, due to the Disney affiliation). Isabelle is a fun character to see come into her own, both in her personal life and the publishing world. Beau felt less complex to me, but I was happy that Izzy was happy with him. By the Book is cozy, comforting, and filled with yummy snacks. Perfect book if you're looking for a lighthearted read and enjoy Beauty & the Beast!
