Fantastic!!
This is a great retelling of Sleeping Beauty. The characters are so well developed and likeable that you can connect with them. There are some scenes that may scare young children. Otherwise a fantastic and emotional at times movie.

It’s a retelling of The Little Mermaid from the Sea Witch’s perspective - it’s more about the Sea Witch and her origin story. (0 more)
It seemed to drag a bit in parts and was a bit disappointing from what I hoped for. (0 more)

Animated retelling of a dickens classic. Never grows tiresome, A big family classic in my household at Christmas. Some scenes were fairly creepy which made the film even better. Lovely animation and a lovely story told with an important message.

Loved the book and read within a couple (0 more)
Loved the book read it within a few hours even though it was a slow start. It's not exactly the same as the beauty and the beast which is great though it is a retelling

This was my favorite book of 2018! I feel it got swept under the rug by some. This loosely based retelling of Anastasia was just fantastic.

I was on a Jane Austen kick when this popped up on Net Galley. I was delightfully surprised that this novel wasn’t horrible. Jane Austen retellings/rip offs are a dime a dozen, especially modern versions. However, I felt that this was a lovely retelling. I felt is held true to its inspirations and I likes Evan and Darcy almost as much as Elizabeth and Darcy. The side characters were just as meddling and frustrating too!

Bottom line, if you want a cute modern retelling that doesn’t butcher the feel of the original, I highly recommend this novel.
