Beauty-Everland Ever After by Caroline Lee
This was in my October Lit-Cube. We were supposed to be thrilled that this book was printed just for subscribers. However, like the title of this post indicates, it should have stayed as ebook. It's a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, set in Wyoming.
Arabella is twice widowed, with a ten year old son named Eddie. She runs the bookstore/library. A new, mysterious man moves to town. He is missing his eyes, and is scarred. Arabella sets quite a store on beauty, and Vincenzo, aka new guy in town, doesn't think she will ever see beyond that.
However, Vincenzo realizes some things, and rather than try for happiness, decides to leave town. He doesn't.
Boring as all get out.
I was so disappointed by this book. Belle is my favorite Disney princess, and this retelling makes her shallow. I just couldn't reconcile myself to this.
