2.5/5 stars 
 Well...I finished it but WOW are there ever problems with this book. There is no--absolutely NO-- romantic relationship development between Beauty and Beast. It was like the author just leaned on the reader knowing the story HOWEVER...anyone who knows this story would've been bored as hell by most of it! Either a lazy author or too much editing done--I was expecting more from a non-debut author. Really unsatisfying and disappointing retelling and pretty surprisingly since Spooner has been published before
