Beastly by Alex Flinn

      "I am a beast.
      A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright - a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.
      You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever - ruined - unless I can break the spell. 
      Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beat who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly... beastly."




      While mostly clean, there are a few sexual references at the beginning of this novel. References to prostitution, sex, and drinking are made in a joking matter. There are also a very few crude words. However, as the main character changes, the references stop occurring and the ensuing romance is perfectly clean. I liked the themes of kindness and of being good, even if from a not-so-perfect family situation. I would suggest this as a clean read if not for the few references at the beginning of the novel.
