Kiss the Girl

Ok, I’m a sucker for twisted fairytales, but I’m going to be honest, that most, while good or fun, kinda miss the mark. They might still be a good story, or a fun read, but there’s always a little bit of something that is still missing. Well, this is the rare exception! This book hooked me with such wonderful well thought out characters and so much heart, that I paused all ongoing books to just live in this world with them till the end. (And considering I’m usually reading between two and five books at a time, that’s a feat!) 

Ms. Córdova managed to beautifully incorporate the characters and storyline from the Little Mermaid you know and love into a wonderful, heartwarming, amazing story about a pop star running away to find herself and a band (with a beautifully dreamy lead) setting off hoping for their big dreams to be realized. I want this movie! Tropes exist for a reason in storytelling, but what makes this story better is you love these characters. You really want them to succeed. You cheer for the little victories and maybe (ok, I did) tear up at the heartbreaks. 

I really really loved this! It was just the right amount of sweet, funny, and heartfelt. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure! 

Endless thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this story!

So sweet and full of Easter eggs. I love the author and I appreciate all she did to update the story.
