Bookish and the Beast
by Ashley Poston
3.5 stars
This series continues to charm me more than I ever thought possible. With the first two books, the author set up a fictional fandom that felt very real to me. She continues it with this book and a loose adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Tbh, this part is a bit flimsy to me. You mainly have a big library that the Beast had and he's a grumpy dude. I have read better Beauty and the Beast adaptations. STILL! When it comes to immersing oneself in the Starfield fandom, this book does its job. Rosie made me want to read the book series that doesn't actually exist and Vance provided for some entertainment in his grumpiness. He did read as older than he actually was but I think his chemistry between him and Rosie was pretty well done. I liked their initial meeting that we get glimpses of throughout the book and watching them as they grow closer together. While I do think that Rosie did some pretty dumb things in the beginning, like getting fired from her job when she needed that money or falling into a pool with a 1000 dollar book (!), I wasn't annoyed by her like some of these other reviews suggest. It was nice to get glimpses of the characters from the first two books even if it wasn't always in the best light. This book shouldn't be taken seriously. It's superficial and it's cute. That's what I enjoyed about the first two books as well.
