Just finished this classic romance and it very much holds up. An amazing story of a young brave woman who takes on the task of saving her father from a hideous Beast when her siblings blame her for their father's fate.

Reasons I Recommend:
1) Beauty is a brave young woman who takes to her fate with optimism and refusing to be afraid of what is in store for her
2) The dreams she had of the handsome man who loves her adds a touch of romance and sadness to the story - is the man real or entirely in her mind
And 3) the intricacies behind the curse are years in the making and it is a wonderful story to behold

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

it really had me until the last couple chapters to be honest like, i don't think we needed that backstory that basically told us it was sort of fate that they ended up together, but not in a positive way lmao like it was not REALLY beauty's choice or anything when we find out that oh the fairies basically made all this happen

the art is gorgeous though

I have always wanted to read the original Beauty and the Beast story, but, my goodness, it was so wordy and boring. It's only like 80 pages, but it took me nearly a week to read it.
