I love retellings! Okay, maybe not that much. But I still love retellings. Maybe I'm not crazy over them because I know what to expect, having heard the original story.

Wow.One of the best re-tellings of Beauty & the Beast that I've seen in a long time.
I liked this! Not your average look at this fairy tale and it was a nice short read.
