Who doesn’t love The Beauty and the Beast? Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone looked beyond our outer appearances and actually saw our inner beauty? For most of us, we could reap those benefits and for the others, do you think they could actually change without having something catastrophic happen to them? In this modern-day version of Beauty and the Beast, there were a lot of similar components as the classic that we all grew up with but there are some unique factors in this modern-day version that were added, that created more dimension and appeal to an older audience. Yes, Kyle is an egocentric guy who is shallow and self-centered and it took a catastrophic event to change his life but he does change, he has potential. I think Lindy saw his potential, maybe unconsciously but that is just my opinion (and wishful thinking). What I really enjoyed about this story was all the different elements that were added to make this story unique. As a reader, you know this story by heart so you read with predictability. With these new added elements in the story, there was a new twist to the story and I was no longer waiting for Mrs. Potts or Gaston to enter the storyline, I was entertained with something new.
