Beastly by Alex Flinn

Kyle Kingsbury is spoiled rotten.  His dad is a news reporter, and teaches his son that looks are the most important thing.  So, when Kyle makes a fool of a witch, he becomes, simply, beastly.  Now, hideous, hated, turned down by his own father, Kyle has to cure his ugliness by kissing someone he loves.  But how can he even meet a girl without her screaming and running away?  This book is a really good book.  It is very suspenseful, and the interludes of IM chats from other characters, such as Silent Maid, Froggie, and Mr. Anderson, all of whom have an interesting, and familiar story to tell.
