Bookish and the Beast (Once Upon a Con #3)

One of the most obviously pandering books I have ever read. I am not done with the book yet, but so far it\’s just so unnatural and felt like she was just checking all the boxes to make it as PC and progressive as she possibly could, to the detriment of telling a story.

As much as I adore this series I have to say this book was my least favorite although it has so many things that could make it so amazing In this book we will follow Rosie and Vance, Rosie lives in a small town and she os very sad that her mother died that she is barely functioning to save up for her college and what not .. also she is a nerd and a bookworm and Vance is the actor who plays the villian of the show Starfield but his real life is not going well, so his father decides to put him in a house in a quiet area (Rosie\’s town) until everything is back to normal again .. they meet and the story picks up from there the book had so many right things going for it but mostly I didn\’t like Vance overall As for the narrators I liked the girl performance a lot .. but the guy wasn\’t that good to be honest

I loved the story, the characters, and the world of the series. The narrators are quite good too — but one inconsistency drove me crazy. The pronunciation of one of the main characters\’ last names changed throughout the books. In print, it\’s Reigns, and sometimes, it was said as \”rains\”, but more often, as \”re-gins\” (hard g sound). It makes no sense — why wouldn\’t the production/editing process catch and fix this? It was very distracting, in what was otherwise a really enjoyable experience.

This was my least favorite from the Once Upon a Con series, but it was a lovely story still. This is a Beauty and the Beast take with a modern tale to go along with the stories we\’ve already enjoyed that go around the first two books. The idea is that some rich actor kid who has been a bit of a trouble maker ends up going to a place in the middle of nowhere to just relax and not cause any more issues. Honestly the problem with this book is that there is not enough build up of characters. There is a little, but I feel like I barely had the ability to connect to these characters compared to the other two books. There wasn\’t enough meat to it. It was not bad though. I had been looking very much forward to reading this, and now I don\’t feel too badly about that.

A UNIQUE ADDITION TO THE SERIES, STAYING CLOSE TO THE TALE OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST . THERE WERE SEVERAL ASPECTS IN THE BOOK THAT I DIDN\’T REALLY CARE FOR, 1. IS THAT ROSES FATHER IS GAY AND RAINBOWS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT. 2. THERE IS A SCENE WHEN THE BEAST COMES DOWN FROM THE SHOWER WRAPPED IN NOTHING BUT A TOWEL THAT DOES NOT REMAIN ON HIS BODY, THOUGH NOTHING WAS DESCRIPTIVE THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I WAS EXPECTING IN A AUDIBLE BOOK MEANT FOR TEENS, 3 THE NARRATORS DID A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE CHARACTERS IN THE STORY, AND THE 5 STAR RATING IS FOR THEM.!!!!!
