A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

5.0

This book is PHENOMENAL! I cannot remember the last time I cared so deeply about a cast of YA characters. Everyone in this book is relatable, inspiring, flawed in deeply moving and human ways, and /strong/ in the face of adversity. The retelling of the classic fairytale is smart and fresh, every substitution matters/has merit. The dialogue is witty. The plot is a flawlessly woven combination of action and tenderness. The power of friendship represented is just as moving as the moments of budding romance. And the author's style in her prose keeps you in the moment, makes you feel sentimental or alert, plays to your senses and imagination the same way a symphony does. A truly stunning and beautiful book.
