Colorful, brilliantly vibrant to perfectly match a fairytale! I loved this little book. It was cute, sweet, and heart warming. If you are looking for a gorgeous and easy read, then you should pick this one up!

Brielle and Bear is an adorable take on Beauty and the Beast, set in a fairy tale university town. Brielle works in a bookstore and is obsessed with fairy tales, and Bear plays rugby. When the two start weaving a fairy tale of their own, readers can't help but be enchanted.

I fell in love with the story and the art style of this graphic novel. Although some of the panels are crowded and the organization confusing, the story was enough to keep me reading. Can't wait to share this one with students!

I loved this! The illustrations were beautiful, the characters were fun and diverse and overall the story was super cute. I really loved Bear's growth throughout the story and it was great to see him own up to his anger. Excited to see where this story leads.

This was such an adorable YA graphic novel debut by @sa.dokuillo that is a Beauty and the Beast retelling set in a university with a diverse cast, cinnamon roll MMC & stunning FMMC. Perfect for fans of the Fangirl manga by Rainbow Rowell. I can’t wait to read book 2 in 2026!

CW: grief, loss of a parent & grandparent (recounted), bullying (recounted)

The artwork wasn't my favorite and at times it was hard to follow the text on the page to see who was speaking when.
