3.5 Stars. This was a fast and fun read from the author of Beastly. It is basically Sleeping Beauty retold. Talia is the princess who has been warned all her life to stay away from spindles. but the curse is inevitable and she falls asleep, only to be awoken by Jack 300 years later! Chapters are told from their alternating points of view and there are very charming and funny parts in the story, as well as some good lessons (like don't underestimate your parents and teens shouldn't be left alone once they hit puberty - family time should continue, etc....) I think fans of Beastly will enjoy this read, although I thought Beastly was a bit better. It helped that Sleeping Beauty is my all time favorite fairy tale, so I loved how the author re-told it and spun it for today's day and age.
