Bookish and the Beast
by Ashley Poston
Thank you to Quirk Books for sending me an ARC of this book.
After reading Geekerella and Princess and the Fangirl and absolutely loving them, I had no doubt at all that I would love this, and I was definitely right in thinking that. Once I started reading it I didn't want to put it down, and I didn't want it to end.
So one of the things I love most about this Once Upon A Con series is how predictable they are, usually I'm not a fan of that in books, but these are the perfect books to know what's going to happen. In Geekerella it's obvious that Elle and Darien are the endgame, in Princess and the Fangirl you know that Jessica and Imogen are going to become friends (and you know a certain love match between two characters is going to happen aswell) and then in Bookish and the Beast you know exactly how things are going to pan out at the end with Rosie and Vance - but you don't know what it'll take for them to get to that point. I like how in these books you get the two points of view and you get to see parts of the characters that the other characters don't see until later in the book. With Vance he shuts himself off from everyone and just seems like a 'bad boy' type who doesn't care what people thinks, when in fact he's the opposite.
I want to recommend these to everyone because they're amazing, but if you don't like cliche stories, or you don't like re-tellings, then you likely won't be a fan of these... but you should know you are missing out!
