I really love Doescher's Shakespeare-ization of modern media. I don't particularly like Mean Girls, since I was terrorized by mean girls in HS, who coincidentally asked me to bring the family copy of the film to watch after soccer practice, but whatever.
The story lends itself well to iambic pentameter, and was an overall good adaption of the story.

Kristina (502 KP) rated The Vixen and the Vet (A Modern Fairytale #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
A real-life twist on an old familiar fairy tale. It took me a little bit to get into this story, mainly because the tone was a bit stiff and formal. But once I did get into it, I fell in love. I enjoyed this story so much and I can't wait to read the rest of the Modern Fairytale series!

I absolutely fell in love with this book, and I totally didn't expect to. But I couldn't put the story down, and with every turn of the page, I found myself more invested in the characters and their world. It's a must read for anyone looking for a story that's new, interesting, and packed with court conflicts. It's like Wicked King Meets ACOTAR!!!!!!

I am genuinely surprised at how much I love this movie. Normally, I am a firm advocate for film adaptations sticking to the book and if they don't, I find myself getting really upset (Dumplin' is a great example of this), but I thoroughly love this movie. The changes that were made are ones that I love. I don't mind it not sticking to it entirely because the general feel of the story is still there. I get the same feeling watching the move that I got reading the book and I think that's most important.
Additionally, this cast is incredible. I love Lana Conder, I think she's incredible. I love almost everything Noah Centineo is in and he's the exact guy that I imagined for Peter. (Same with Lana and Lara Jean). I think that they have great chemistry and I'm excited to see how that plays out even further when the next movie comes out in February.
I really love this series. I know some people don't, I'm not sure why honestly, but I love it and I definitely see myself watching these movies every now and again when I just need a good, heartwarming love story.

**I received this book free from Story Cartel in exchange for an honest review.**
Noa and Amar meet each other in, "Mutual Advice", a support group for those who have relationship issues. Amar and Noa end up doing sessions together and these sessions lead to a romantic relationship. An relationship that is forbidden from the start as Noa is Jewish and Amar is Muslim.
Chava Epstein writes a romantic story filled with passion. The reason why I didn't give this story more than two stars was because it just didn't make me feel the passion. I'm not sure if some of the story got lost in translation, or if the format I was reading it in, distracted from the deeper meaning, but it was a task for me to finish this book. Throughout telling the love story of Noa and Amar, there are also love letters and paintings and other stories that Noa is writing to tell about her love for Amar. All of these side stories made me lose interest in the rest of what was going on.
On the other hand, I LOVED the artwork that accompanied each chapter in the book.
