BookChick.com Recommends Lauren Baratz-Logsted’s “Crazy Beautiful”
Review by Diane at The Book Resort
A boy blows off his arms in an accidental explosion. A girl falls for him nonetheleless. A classic tale of beauty and the beast.Lauren Baratz-Logsted’s “Crazy Beautiful” is breathtakingly beautiful. I found myself aching at the raw emotion & losing myself in the sheer creative brilliance that is this book. I didn’t just read it; I devoured it! I even started to drag my feet as I was reaching the end. Why? Because Crazy Beautiful is so hypnotic, an unparalleled fairy tale, and I didn’t want it to end.
Baratz-Logsted’s interpretation of Beauty & the Beast is absolutely arresting. Told with a modern twist, Crazy Beautiful will have you believing anything & everything is possible thanks to the author’s striking & charismatic prose. The story is told in alternating point of views, which is not only refreshing but allows readers to experience the deeply intense emotions that cover Lucius & Aurora, the two main characters, like second skin.
Baratz-Logsted weaves an enthralling tale of fractured teens who are destined to be in a fast, emotional read that gives readers a unique take on a well-known tale.
I want a sequel!
