Beastly

By Alex Finn...a retelling of a classic fairy tale...Beauty and the Beast only this one takes place in New York City, and the beast is a teenage boy who has it all, looks, money, and popularity.  He meets up with a witch who decides to make his outward appearance look just like his insides...and he ends up looking like a beast.  He has two years to have someone fall in love with him and kiss him to break the spell.  I really enjoyed the story.  It was fresh and new.  I can't wait to see the film that has been made based on this book.  I recommend this to teens and adults who enjoy a good romance and reading about someone finding themselves.
