Reread as an adult and it holds up! Love the introduction of all the other characters and the subplot/hinting of a rebellion. 

Average college town opposites attract kind of story. Light casual easy read.

Fun lighthearted read. Rowan came off kinda almost borderline stalkerish or just really couldn't take a hint a lot of the times and that almost lost me a few times but it was still a cute read! Also appreciated the light mention of therapy and disability inclusion.

After finishing I just have feelings of hopelessness and... I don't even know, a lot of feelings of overthinking all of our actions? I don't even know how to feel right now honestly! It definitely picked up the last 100 pages and had very interesting concepts for it being written in 1949. 

I loved the backstory to the Beast and I like how there was a connection to Gaston throughout the book that made the beloved fairytale make a little more sense. 

I was hooked from the start of this twisted tale! I loved the back and forth as to what was real and what was a dream. I loved that Aurora and Phillip got to go on an adventure together.

Quick, easy, dark, non consensual read

This one was dense, especially with a lot more characters introduced. But still good part of the series. Definitely picked up the last 100 pages or so.

I didn't really follow the characters or the plot at all and felt all over the place. I think some of the writing turned me off (multiple letters in a word seems like such an over exaggeration and there were so many moments in dialogue words were dragged out, "uuuu" - not sure what that means, "love" spelled "luv"... I know it was meant in a joking sense but why). I also think maybe supernaturals in a modern world setting just wasn't my thing. 

I contemplated DNF'ing this book so many times but I kept hoping for it to get better. All the characters were introduced right away first chapter but not much character development after that. Instead of the character labeling herself as "neurodivergent" I wish there was more examples of that character that we read about, rather than just the label. It also only gets discussed moreso in the beginning of the book and she doesn't bring it up again. I felt the characters relied very heavily on their labels and we don't actually read much about their characteristics. Unfortunately the FMC was my least favorite character of all time. I did not find her likeable at all.
