Beastly Beauty by Jennifer Donnelly
4.0
This was an interesting gender-bent Beauty and the Beast retelling. The entire premise of this story is what makes a girl “beastly.” It focused on accepting who you are and loving yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do that for you.
It took a few chapters for me to figure out the plot and where it was going. The prologue was utterly confusing until about halfway through the book when you finally understand who was in it and what they were doing. The dominoes do eventually fall into place for understanding all the characters and their purpose in the story though.
Overall, I thought it was a good take on the classic fairytale.
