Harper has cerebral palsy which, following several surgeries and other treatments in childhood, causes her to limp. Her mom is in the last stages of cancer, her dad is out of the picture, and her brother has been involved in increasingly criminal activities, hoping to get money to support the family and pay for their mother’s treatment. Harper, a seventeen-year-old young woman in modern-day Washington, D.C., is in a tough spot. This keen reader thought I might like the book and the reader was not wrong. One of our keen readers suggested that I might enjoy A Curse So Dark and Lonely which is a romance-centric YA Beauty and the Beast retelling in which the heroine, a modern day teen with cerebral palsy, is transported to an alternate fairytale world and meets a Prince who periodically turns into a monster and eats everyone in sight. Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult
