A review by mrsbofe
Rebel Rose by Emma Theriault

3.0

This book was a mixture of many things good and bad. I really liked the premise and most retellings I'm game for, so this book was up my alley for sure. There were times I liked the book and enjoyed it, and yet other times it was frustrating and not what I had hoped it would be. The hard part with referencing a major movie and keeping the main cast of characters for your book is that I already have ideas and thoughts about them, so trying to have these characters continue on, you need to be careful because it's not characters you created. It was just not a fluid book for me, the characters lacked and no real progression was made except for Belle in a way. Not to discourage readers from this book as it had it's moments that were fun and enjoyable, and if you like Beauty and the Beast you might enjoy this book. However, for me this book fell too flat to be something exciting or a favorite. It was a decent read, but not something I'm going to be chatting about.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
