I loved this book so much it is now my favorite Beauty and Beast retelling I have ever read I loved everything about it. I loved all of the characters so much especially Merit and Tevin they fit so together I liked how it was a slow burn he could not charm her and they fell in love gradually I loved how everything ended. I loved Merit for how did not let her mother pick her husband even if she was cursed as a result I really loved her strength of character she was very interesting to read about. I loved the other characters as well Tevin's siblings and cousin were great and very fun to read about. I loved the plot it started as your typical Beauty and the Beast story but I really loved the gender bent version it put a whole new perspective into this story it was an amazing read. So overall I loved this book and will be reading more books by this author for sure.
