Book Review: Beastly

What is love? Something that people say when they have strong feelings for one another right? You're sort of right. In Alex Flinn's book Beastly, she opens your eyes and heart to something called true love. This book takes a story like the movie made in 1991 Beauty and the Beast and combines it with modern time.

This story takes place in a high school, where popularity thrives and people considered "ugly" are a joke. A ninth-grader named Kyle Kingsbury who is incredibly popular and rich. Kyle gets everything and every girl he wants. He lives with his father who he rarely gets to see due to the fact that Kyle’s father always works. Kyle’s life seems perfect, with his hot girlfriend Sloane Hagen. A girl every guy dreamed of having, yeah Kyle had it all. Until one day, Kendra Hilferty comes into his life. After Kendra comes into his life, Kyle is forced to leave home; his father will not even look at him, his once love of his life will not even talk to him. But what Kyle does not know is he is going to meet the one. A girl so amazing that it will change Kyle Kingsbury into someone else.

This book will make you laugh, make you cry, make you sad and all over know the meaning of love. I never thought this book could have such an impact on my feelings but it did. If you like to feel your heart race and your eyes tear up from a story that shows you what true love really means, then read this!

I recommend this book to whoever likes to read love stories! This is an amazing book for a teenager and anyone would enjoy this book.
