A tale as old as time is made new in Ashley Poston’s fresh, geeky retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
In the third book in Ashley Poston’s Once Upon a Con series, Beauty and the Beast is retold in the beloved Starfield universe as bad boy Vance Reigns meets his match in fanfiction writer Rosie Thorne.
Rosie Thorne and her father have been short on luck—and money—for years. So when she loses her grocery store job in a heated moment of smashing the patriarchy, she knows she may be forced to give up on her dream of leaving her small town for a prestigious college creative writing program.
On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as Rosie’s been clipping coupons and secretly writing massively popular fanfiction. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he’s forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA.
Rosie and Vance’s paths collide in a chance encounter, and suddenly cataloging the Starfield library at Vance’s manor house is Rosie’s only shot at saving money for school. And while most Starfield superfans would jump at the chance to work in close proximity to Vance, Rosie has realized something about Vance: he’s a huge jerk, and she can’t stand him.
Still, there may be more to Vance than meets the eye. As Rosie and Vance begrudgingly get to know each other, secrets are revealed that could change their minds—and their hearts—forever.

Heerlijk sprookjesachtig. Je weet hoe het gaat eindigen, maar het is goed voorgelezen en luistert heerlijk weg.

Wat ben ik dol op deze serie. Ook dit laatste deel laat mij met een warm hard achter. Als je zien hebt in een verhaal wat hartverwarmend is dan is deze serie een aanrader.

It was cute and heartwarming. Male lead is a little irritating and stupid, but well… teenagers ? Which is funny because at the same time he is kinda endearing. Female lead is excellent. The plot is very simple , very very simple, so if you are expecting a lot this book is not for you. Many reference to other sci-fi and fantasy franchises which I loved. In a way typical but with a massive and beautiful library in a mansion/castle that by the way… totally didn’t fit the American high school setting. It was still enjoyable. Good read.
