4.5 out of 5 stars! 
 I really enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to! I did like the slow start, even though it was something not a lot liked. But when you know it is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, then it's absolutely fine. The instalove was a little too much, but didn't ruin the story. Around the halfway mark I was hooked and couldn't close the book! 
 So excited for the next one, when I get a chance to pick it up :)
