Beastly: Lindy’s Diary Read online

  And my dad? I haven’t seen him, not since he left that last time. Adrian doesn’t have the mirror anymore, so I can’t even spy on him that way. It’s probably better. I’ve realized that, sometimes, you have to let people go.

  But I’m really glad I have someone to hold on to.

  About the Author

  Alex Flinn loves fairy tales and made her two daughters sit through several dozen versions of Beauty and the Beast while she wrote BEASTLY . . . then quizzed them on how they thought a beast would meet girls in New York City. BEASTLY is now a major motion picture starring Vanessa Hudgens as Lindy. Alex is also the author of BEWITCHING, a novel about the immortal life of Kendra Hilferty (the witch from BEASTLY!); CLOAKED, a fairy tale mash-up set in steamy South Beach; and A KISS IN TIME, an edgy twist on Sleeping Beauty. Her other books include BREATHING UNDERWATER, an ALA Top 10 Best Book for Young Adults; BREAKING POINT, an ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults; NOTHING TO LOSE, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults; FADE TO BLACK, and DIVA. She lives in Miami with her husband and two children.
