Description: "Harper is the undisputed hero . . . Avoiding disability inspiration tropes, she is a fallible, well-rounded character who fights for the vulnerable and resists being labeled as such herself despite how others perceive her. A fast-paced, richly detailed feminist epic." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review "A unique world filled with fantasy and menace . . . will leave readers anxious to see what happens next." -- School Library Journal "Absolutely spellbinding. A Curse So Dark and Lonely expands on all the beloved themes of 'Beauty and the Beast' to create an intensely original retelling: one full of fierce new characters, wicked magic, and wondrous amounts of heart. Brigid Kemmerer doesn't just tell a story, she builds an entire world that you will never want to leave." -- Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of CARAVAL and LEGENDARY "I couldn't get this creative, suspenseful take on 'Beauty and the Beast' out of my head." -- Sara Holland, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of EVERLESS "Slow burning, big hearted, magical fun! I loved every minute." -- New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins "Heartwarming, thoughtful, and romantic: Brigid Kemmerer took me on a magical journey with this dark fairy tale about growing up, falling in love, and making impossible choices.

Give to teens who enjoyed A Boy Called It by Dave Pelzer or The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky." -- Starred review, School Library Journal on MORE THAN WE CAN TELL "This book is going to fly off the shelves to all teens, but it will hold special interest for those looking for a tear-jerking romance and serious readers of realistic fiction." -- VOYA on LETTERS TO THE LOST "A great concept, delivered in a compulsively readable package . . . romance readers will stay up late to finish this very satisfying and heartfelt read." -- Booklist on LETTERS TO THE LOST "Explores the ideas of carving identity out of pain and the way perception colors expectations." -- BCCB on LETTERS TO THE LOST "Readers will find themselves rooting for the real Declan to win Juliet's heart the same way his online persona did.
