I keep having to remind myself that this is young adult fantasy. Because when I forget, I find Harper significantly more annoying as a character. Her goodness is a bit heavy-handed, which is fine for younger readers, but I'm old and cynical and find it unrealistically optimistic.
But for a Beauty and the Beast retelling, I'm enjoying it. It moves well and isn't too complicated to follow.

Who only managed to finish one book while in vacation? Whoops! Granted I'm close to finishing another book, it just haven't timed out.
Reading this for a keyword challenge while waiting for GR's next slate of reading lists for the end of the year. A YouTuber I follow really likes this author so I figured why not. It fulfils a prompt.

The word I was looking for was dimension. Her portrayal lacks dimension beyond moral goodness.
