I’ve seen a few reviews call this a Beauty and the Beast retelling (not sure why; maybe because of the "rose" on the cover?), but it’s blurbed as a retelling of Snow White, and in light of how much the story has to do with mirrors and being beautiful, a comparison to Snow White makes a lot more sense.
