I purchased this book on Amazon.

Tara Sivec is a USA Today best-selling author, wife, mother, chauffeur, maid, short-order cook, baby-sitter, and sarcasm expert. She lives in Ohio with her husband and two children and looks forward to the day when all three of them become adults and move out.

“Does no one believe in fairy tales and happily ever after anymore?”

Belle is ready to break out of her basement bedroom and shed her cardigan, and live her life. Everyone in her life treats her like a delicate flower. Belle is ready to put down the books and climb on stage- ready or not- someone is getting a happy ending.

I enjoyed the modern spin on Beauty and the Beast. Tara has taken a take as old as time and sprinkled some sexy glitter, and boom!

I enjoyed getting to know Belle in this book. She is such an adorable character. Watching her find her confidence and learn to stand up for herself and fight for what she wants was incredible. There is so much female empowerment in this book and so much body positivity- everything about this journey is beautiful.

Tara Sivec took a classic fairytale and turned it into an empowering tale of friendship, self love and independence.
