Publisher Description
See the #1 New York Times bestselling story Beastly through Lindy's eyes! This is her diary, kept while living in captivity with the beast. Lindy's Diary captures all the romance and edgy mystery of the original!
Diary,
I am locked away . . . with no one to confide in but you . . . and him. His fur, those claws—they caught me off guard at first, but now I'm noticing something else about him—something deeper. It's the look in his eye. It tells me he's got a secret to keep. That's okay—I've got one, too. I think I'm falling in love with him. . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Flinn (Diva) delivers a lighthearted and contemporary twist on Beauty and the Beast, and while there is nothing shocking nor any striking departure from the original, her retelling is eminently satisfying. Kyle Kingsbury is a gorgeous high school freshman, spoiled rotten by his famous anchorman father, a man who'd rather dole out cash than affection. Kyle attends the exclusive Tuttle School in New York City and torments those poor unfortunates who lack his looks and wealth. When he humiliates a girl at school, she transforms him into a horrific-looking creature. Kyle's only hope for breaking the spell lies in finding true love as he reports online in meetings of the Unexpected Changes chat group (other members include Froggie and the mermaid Silent Maid). Flinn follows the fairy tale's original plot points closely, but falters in her depiction of the story's bad guys, over-the-top caricatures that simply ring false in her up-to-date setting. Kyle's father, for example, spends literally three minutes with him each day, the time it takes him to heat his dinner in the microwave. Even so, the happily-ever-after ending is rewarding, if not surprising. Ages 14-up.

Loved it!
I loved the first beastly book,and this one was great :). There actually more stuff that happened that wasn't in the first beastly book. It's so cool to here her side of the story :)
Love it!!!!!
Yesterday I watched the movie for beastly, and I thought it was great (or for some people 'off the chain insane') and I looked up beastly to find out if it had a book. Yes it did. So I got both and thought this one is off the chain insane! I have yet to read the original book 'Beastly' but I bet it will be off the chain insane, too! Nice job
Oh my goodness!
I cannot believe Alex Flinn. She did it again, made me re-falll in love with her relatable characters. Amazing short story!!! <3
