It's rated PG 13 for a reason...not appropriate for tweens...not yet.
I loved this book. My 13 yr old read it too. Although there were a few border line sexual innuendoes, it was much less than what I have seen in other books and definitely movies. Fortunately my daughter talks to me a lot and so I feel comfortable with her reading/viewing Beastly.

Read it Before the Movie Comes Out!
A modern day retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story, from the perspective of the beast. This was a fun, easy read. Involves magic, teenage drinking (a bit) and some sexual issues/ideas. I didn’t find it too offensive, but some parents might.

Casual sex is not acceptable in a novel for teens. Period.
Although the book is inticing and has a redemption theme, it has so many references to casual sex that it is inappropriate for tweens and teens on that fact alone.

Lousy, Boring, and Poorly Written
This book was terrible. The characters were too light and ditsy, and there was no depth to anything. I found it very hard to finish. Some people weren't meant to be authors.
