This was such a fun, cute Tangled retelling. The parallels were so spot on and fun to spot. With a retelling, there is not much room for plot twists and big shocks, but CLo managed to make the story fresh and interesting.
If you go into this book expecting a typical romance, please keep in mind that this is published by Disney and is a retelling of a Disney movie. It’s goofy, instalove, and PG rated.
Thank you to Hyperion Avenue and Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Tangled Up In You in exchange for my honest opinion.
My favorite Disney movie+my favorite author duo=a book I want to read!!
Ren lives on a remote farm, never went to a traditional school, and her only friends are the barn animals she cares for. She convinces her strict parents to let her go to college. Once there she sticks out like a sore thumb. As she navigates life away from her parents, she realizes just how much different her life is than everyone else's.
On her first day she meets Fitz, a rich, good-looking guy who shows her around campus and charms everyone around him. But Ren has her guard up, she's not going to fall for his charm.
They share a class together and do a DNA analysis for a class project where Ren finds out some surprising information. She finds Fitz cheating and blackmails him to let her join him on his cross country spring break trek to find the answers she's looking for.
Ren's life is turned upside down and she has to figure out a way to make it all make sense. Why did this happen to her? Will she be able to trust again?
There are a lot of parallels between this book and the movie but different enough to keep it interesting. It's truly a modern-day retelling!
I did find the ending a little abrupt and wanted a little more but overall a great read!
