I can honestly say that Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite romantic tales. Ever since I watch the Disney movie only months ago and my school doing the musical of Beauty and the Beast, I thought it was fate that Beastly was a book (and becoming a major motion picture at the time).

I fell head over heals for this book! Snotty, cocky bastard Kyle Kingsbury brought down by a spell a la witch. With only a two year time limit, Kyle has to love and be loved in return or he will be beastly forever. Classic Beauty and the Beast.

I'm going to put this out there, when Will came into the story I just couldn't get a picture of Robin Williams out of my head! I've been watching The Dead Poet Society WAY too much! But, I felt like he would have played a great Will in the movie version, not saying Neil Patrick Harris was a bad choice (I love Neil Patrick Harris, by the way). And I love Lindy and Kyle together, so cute!

I will definitely look into more of Alex Flinn's novels, because she has definitely gotten me hooked!
