Eh...

The book is a take on beauty and the beast and it's not bad but it's not my favorite. Jaya's reasons for what she was doing didn't make sense to me and it didn't feel high stakes at all. This is a contemporary with magical elements, but no real magic from what I gathered, so it felt and read like teens at a boarding school causing their own drama.

The next book is about Kat though and she was great so maybe there will be actual stakes in that book.
