I loved this book, it was so refreshing and it was so beautifully written. I have yet to read the classic but I did my research before reading this novel. I loved the characters and how well the story followed the original because even though I knew what was going to happen the journey getting there was incredible and I love Hyde and Jek. I did read the author interview and how she came up with the idea and why she wanted to write a re-telling and I found it so inspiring because Amy Ross talks with so much passion for her work, I am lost for words, it was amazing.

Let’s get into the thick of it. I loved how the story fit well with the characters and thatthey made me feel something. I saw a lot of diversity in this book, however it isn’t the main point, but I was quiet shocked because in novels and movies we don’t see much, although things are about to change. There was a lot of classism as readers saw how money was a big deal but so was the characters personality and how intelligent they were. It was a really good aspect of the book and it was emphasised more in the novel rather than their race.
The plot was amazing of course but I definitely think that the characters that Ross developed made the book.
Overall I suggest you give this a read because you are missing out! I was brilliantly re written and 12+ should read this because they talk about drugs and sex. I also need to buy this book!
100/5- cause it was that good.
