I love the movie Tangled, and this book worked well as a reimagining of it. I admired how the book took some of the movie's iconic scenes, while still holding its own identity. I think this book can be loved by both Tangled fans and people who have never seen the movie.

I loved the characters in this book! Our POV characters, Ren and Fitz, are given solid motivations and conflicts, loveable personalities. Their relationship is very cute.

One of the downsides of this book for me was how focused it was on the physical relationship between Fitz and Ren. Though it is a closed door romance, much of the plot in the second half of the book is revolving around the question of "Will these two go all the way? Look at that, they have to share a bed again. Maybe they will finally kiss this time, maybe they'll do more than that?" It was like the book didn't know what it wanted to be, because while the content didn't go farther than kissing, the tone and internal monologues of the characters tried to go much farther. It ends up in a middle ground that doesn't feel like it will satisfy any readers, either the people who are looking for closed door romances or the people who are looking for spice in their romances.

Thanks to Netgalley and Hyperion Avenue for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
