Beastly by Alex Flinn

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
This modern-day re-imagined fairy tale follows Kyle Kingsbury, a beautiful shallow teenager who is cruel to the wrong witch. She casts a spell on him and makes him a beast. He's forced to live in hiding, which isn't too uncomfortable thanks to his father's wealth (think live-in maid and tutor plus all the entertainment you could wish for). The only way out of the spell is for a girl to fall in love with him and kiss him. The love story that results is a bit rushed, but otherwise this book is a definite winner. The IM messages between BeastinNYC, SilentMaid (the little mermaid), a frog (the frog prince), etc. are pretty funny, too.

Impossible

Impossible by Nancy Werlin

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wonderfully romantic and impossible to put down! Lucy has inherited a curse that she will give birth by age 18 and go crazy unless she can complete the impossible tasks of her family's version of Scarborough Fair. Lucky for Lucy and unlike the women before her, she has her loving foster parents and her best friend (and more), Zach. But can she complete the impossible tasks of making a shirt with no seams, and sowing an acre of land with only a goat's horn and one grain of corn? I read this book in almost only one sitting and then wished I could read it all over again. Highly recommended.

Don't ask me what it all means. I'm sure it's much deeper than it seems.
