Huh. That actually sounds like it could be pretty interesting. I'm a sucker for fairy tales redone in a contemporary way anyway, so I might have to check that out.
I find it kind of vexing that Izzy would end up with Roger in the end, though. Understandable, given the circumstances in the book, but still. Wasn't the whole point of Beauty and the Beast that you could love someone and be happy with them even if they were hideously ugly? It seems kind of disingenuous to end the story as 'and then she ended up with the hot guy after all, the end!'. I dunno.
