B.E.S.T.I.A.

The classic fairy tale has so many timeless themes, but I wonder what motivated the author to set it in today’s world. Did they want to challenge certain stereotypes or highlight modern issues?

Their struggles with identity and love felt very real and relatable. I’d love to hear if others found parts of their own experiences reflected in the story.

The way the story balances lighthearted moments with deeper emotional themes is really compelling. I wonder what choices in language or narration contributed most to that tone.
