Pickpick

Left side is the #NetGalley cover & right side is the GoodReads/Amazon cover. I much prefer the first one.

Anywho... I give this futuristic Beauty and the Beast retelling a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️out of 5.

I thoroughly enjoyed Stradling's story concept which was uniquely inventive. Be advised, however, that this is not geared for young readers. Stradling decided, starting about 1/2 way in, to include several flagrant sex scenes which imo weren't necessary.

Lacythebookworm I agree the Net Galley cover is better! 😊 8y

1. Bed
2. Um... Greek?
3. One wouldn't suffice, no matter how incredible. I'd have to take the average lot.
4. I'll go w/film because I think perhaps they have a better chance at doing it right. Maybe. (Not that history has proved this point all that often, but I'm sticking with my gut. Haha)
5. I love reading both; however, YA often times is full of angst so I'd take a lifetime of adult fiction if I could pick only one.
