A Beauty-and-Beast retelling that is mostly a coming-of-age story of a young person who runs away to escape an arranged marriage, with a tiny smidge of romance. I found the first half most interesting when she's dealing with her family and society. Later on there's a lot of journal entries she's reading, and consequently the emotional impact is lessened.
