I will, it is known, read ANYTHING that calls itself a Beauty and the Beast story. This one was super sweet even if it felt slow at the beginning and was one of those books where, try as I might, I kept missing things in the audiobook because my mind wandered until the plot threads really started to pull together.
I appreciated the fairy tale parts and I also wanted a little more...something with the conversation about what happens when the world makes you the monster and you acquiesce because I couldn't tell if Cochrane was just skating lightly over it or was saying what needed to be said precisely by not engaging with it. צ״ע
