So, to start, I still can't believe this was her debut?! I even made an entire twitter account because I loved so many quotes from this book - so I can tweet out quotes I love from the books I read. I. The emotions folks. A lot of my review is gonna be based on my annotations throughout reading! And I suppose I'll be jumping all over the place with my review. The ending. That ending. Ugh I loved it. I'm so shocked to say that I like this book even better than the first beauty and the beast retelling I'd ever read - which was my favorite until now - which is Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge (although it is a very close second). I'm sad that I have to wait til 2023 for another book from this magical author! I find it amazing how for a debut, the author was able to so perfectly describe the world from the characters eyes - from her hobbies - using the vocabulary in painting and artistry to describe her surroundings among other things. Also random ass theory/idea - fair folk/fae/fairies are just magical autistic people. (I'm autistic myself.) I say this because there's the idea that autistic people can't lie, can't use sarcasm, and can't detect either one themselves. I am astonished at how this book magically got better and better the longer I read it and I was in awe the entire time, and still am. Anyway I highly recommend this book to any and all of my goodreads friends and anyone who stumbles upon my account, and I may or may not be spending upwards of over $100 on custom funko pops of all of this author's main characters on etsy...
