Review
Of Curses and Kisses is a Beauty and the Beast retelling. I really liked this modernization of it. Grey was convinced what he was cursed and it made him into a bit of a beast. He didn’t turn into a monster, but he thought he was one.
Jaya was bent on revenge. I did appreciate that this part of the storyline wasn’t drawn out too long. Was this story predictable? Yes, it was. This is one of those situations where the journey is more interesting than the outcome. I enjoyed Jaya and Grey’s interactions and seeing them get to know each other. They were both so good for each other. It was nice to see them become better people.
I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of young adult books that have been coming out recently with mature characters and this is certainly one of them!
Definitely gonna read this!
