I wish I was more into this. 😭 I’m just not feeling much character chemistry, I’m into the dirty and the man obsessed but it just feels…empty.

Obviously, this is completely subjective. Objectively, there is probably nothing wrong with this book. Subjectively? I am struggling.

I am a SIMP for Disney. I utterly abhor Olivia’s family, I feel like Maddie deserves better, and I’m obsessed with Parker and Cole. Parker be S U S P C I C I O U S . And CRJANE has a terrifying ability to make red flags seem not only cute but needed for the safety of our heroines.

The banterrrrr
The texts
The female friendship.
🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Gonna have me out here antagonizing all sexy dirty men that scowl at me in the hopes that they are Brody Steele types.

Why does this book just feel so easy? It makes me feel so SOFT.

And Jesus but Rory?? Excellent book boyfriend. Give him ALL OF THE ACCOLADES BECAUSE HES F*CKING PERFECT.

Why is this book already so freaking cute? How does she not realize this boy has been madly in love with her FOR FOREVER? He is taking this fake dating trope and SPRINTING with it.

Oh my god. Infinity stars. Bc I am in love with Mae. Her temper, her thoughts. This is so good.

Fucking hooked. How can I be HURTING one second and laughing the next? Wtf? I had to stop bc I’m at work and I’m at the part where if people interrupt me I want to throw things at them. God Alana, just fucking LOVE HIM ALREADY HIS HEART STARS KEEP HURTING HIM HE JUST WANTS TO LOVE YOU.

This man is horny as fuck and kind of repressed to boot.
Also, this book is cute as hell. I love Veronica’s spunk. And this small town KNOWS how to small town.

So beyond original, I honestly don’t know if any other retelling could measure up in terms of the way Belle has creatively reworked the origin story of Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, and Toto. They’re portrayal has me hooked and speechless; I want to talk about them so bad but I don’t know how without giving spoilers, I’m grasping at thin air.
