If you follow my Bookstagram<\/a> or my Twitter<\/a>, you may have seen me already yelling about this book a lot. It is one of my favourite books, one of the few books I have ever pre-ordered, and I really hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the Book Of The Month for the South Asian Reading Challenge<\/a> put together by Fanna @ Fannatality<\/a> and Nandini @ Novel And Nebulas<\/a>, so check that out and check out Sandhya’s Instagram<\/a> for quote graphics to get even more excited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I attempted to put together a playlist below (with added playlist cover!) and of course, was very tempted to just put in many Bollywood songs because of reasons. My spoiler-free review is also at the bottom of this post, so be sure to check that out for more reasons to read this wonderful book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will the princess save the beast?
<\/p>

For Princess Jaya Rao<\/strong>, nothing is more important than family. When the loathsome Emerson clan steps up their centuries-old feud to target Jaya\u2019s little sister, nothing will keep Jaya from exacting her revenge. Then Jaya finds out she\u2019ll be attending the same elite boarding school as Grey Emerson, and it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. She knows what she must do: Make Grey fall in love with her and break his heart. But much to Jaya\u2019s annoyance, Grey\u2019s brooding demeanor and lupine blue eyes have drawn her in. There\u2019s simply no way<\/em> she and her sworn enemy could find their fairy-tale ending… Right?<\/p>

His Lordship Grey Emerson <\/strong>is a misanthrope. Thanks to an ancient curse by a Rao matriarch, Grey knows he\u2019s doomed once he turns eighteen. Sequestered away in the mountains at St. Rosetta\u2019s International Academy, he\u2019s lived an isolated existence – until Jaya Rao bursts into his life. Sparkling and elegant, Jaya\u2019s unlike anyone Grey has ever met. Still, he can\u2019t shake the feeling that she\u2019s hiding something. Something that might just have to do with the rose-shaped ruby pendant around her neck…<\/p>

As the stars conspire to keep them apart, Jaya and Grey grapple with questions of love, loyalty, and whether it\u2019s possible to write your own happy ending.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Of Curses and Kisses <\/em>by Sandhya Menon is a contemporary retelling of Beauty and the Beast <\/em>set at an elite boarding school in the mountains–think Beauty and the Beast<\/em> meets Gossip Girl<\/em>! It’s out February 18th, 2020 and even has a map<\/strong> in the hardcover. Featuring an Indian princess and a misanthropic British aristocrat, it’s immersive, glamorous, and full of smoldering kisses! I hope you guys will order it wherever you get your books!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
