Briar Rose is a delightful retelling of the fairytale we all know and love - but with new twists and turns that will keep you engaged while leaving you enchanted.
White has a natural knack for storytelling, and her writing is not only filled with beautiful imagery but nods to other magical tales that will make her novel feel both homey and nostalgic.
In addition to her characters, one of the things I enjoyed most was the effortless humor that White sprinkles throughout her book. Briar Rose is equally wholesome as it is heartwarming. Add a generous dash of romance, and it's a wonderful addition to your physical or digital library that both young and old are sure to appreciate.

A twist
I love the twist in the story, while aat times I felt it was a bit slow, the blossoming relationship between the MCs was worth it. The only thing I wish happen 1. Rose should've been the one to end things (I'm trying to b be discrete without giving too much away) and 2 the ending was too rushed. 3 I wish we knew how both Enid and Tobias are their nastiness after finding out about Rose. 4 I wish we "saw" an actually wedding and the reunion of Rose and the duchess's. Lol, that's all, I would totally recommend this book.

This was a great fairy tale. You should read it with your kids or it is prefect for a young girl or teen. It was a mix of Sleepy Beauty and frozen.
