Flinn puts a modern twist on the classic "Beauty and the Beast" story. While the storyline sticks closely to the well-known story, Beast's father is a television news anchor and Beauty's father is drug-user. The Beast is Kyle, once the prince of his school, and Beauty is Lindy. Kyle is turned into a beast by a witch and he has two years to earn Lindy's love and break the spell. A very entertaining read, even for those familiar with the tale.
