Beastly
by Alex Flinn
Actual rating somewhere between 2.5-3 stars.
I used to love the movie (haven't seen it in a while) and Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney story. Maybe teen me would've loved this book more but adult me, not so much.
I actually really liked it in the beginning, when Kyle is still a jerk and right before Kendra turns him into a beast. But after that, it's pretty uneventful.
Also, the dialogue is horrible. No teens would ever talk like they do in this book, or the adults, for that matter. The romance was bland and bare, none of the characters are relatable or likable. Lindy calls every other person shallow but she's one of the most shallow characters I've ever met.
This is definitely one of those instances where movie > book.
