Welcome to Becoming Beauty's Blog Tour! Learn all about Sarah E. Boucher and her exciting new Young Adult novel based on the classic fairy tale Beauty & The Beast.
Becoming Beauty
Self-centered Bella focuses her attention on
beautiful dresses and fabulous balls rather than helping her family earn a
living. And her siblings have had
enough! To pay off their father’s debt, they send Bella to a far-off manor
where the owner is more like a beast than a man.
As their personalities clash, Bella comes to
realize there’s more to the Beast than she could ever have dreamed—if only she
can look beneath the surface. And then there’s Jack, the kind servant who helps
Bella adjust to her new life, someone Bella could easily fall in love with. But
pursuing love may cost Bella her dreams of wealth and beauty. And that’s a
price she’s not willing to pay.
My thoughts: I love fairytale retellings, as is obvious by the fact that I’ve written a few. My favorite part of retellings is to be surprised by a twist in the story. In the debut novel by Sarah Boucher, Becoming Beauty, that’s exactly what happened.
Becoming Beauty is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and books & things.

Bella is a spoiled girl in spite of her fairly meager
upbringing. She has a major sense of entitlement. When her father goes on a
business trip, her request for a bauble from said trip sets in motion a series
of events that land her as servant for the “Beast”, Phillip.
Add to that a mysterious past with a woman named Rose who
Bella seems to be psychically connected with, and a loyal friend who becomes
Bella’s only friend in the castle, and you immediately have a twist on the traditional
tale. Where it goes from there is completely unexpected as the overindulged
princess is brought to her knees.
Boucher has created a
flawed heroine you’ll love, and a hero that isn’t what you expect. Prepare to
be enchanted by this debut novel from a promising new author. I look forward to
what comes from her next!
