My Review: I will totally be grabbed a finished copy of this one once its out!! This one picks up from book two with Camille on the run with her gang. I loved every second of this book and could not put it down! It was a great follow up to book one and you could see how much Camille has grown as a character as well as how much the author has learned as well. Everyone grows in this one and I really hope that Freeform picks this up as a TV series becuase it would be so amazing.
If you loved book one you will totally fall in love with the Belles once again!
"Clayton paints a stunning world with chilling characters...that will absorb readers.... This unique story remains a terrific metaphor for beauty and its place in society and culture."―School Library Journal
*"The sequel to Clayton's The Belles (2018) freezes blood and steals breath... Narrative craft that can hold the tension of the implicit (and sorely lacking) value of black and brown features as beautiful as it intertwines with incisive commentary on the overall commodification of beauty is no small feat, and Clayton manages thrills of action, magic, romance, and revolution as well. Beauty comes at a price; so too does freedom."―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

*"Staggering... A world that is breathtaking and crushing, beautiful and vile, and whimsical and terrifying. [Clayton] poignantly uses a harrowing, fantastical tale to illuminate the very real horrors of unattainable beauty standards and the enslavement of marginalized bodies. As relevant as it is exquisite."―Booklist, starred review
