    <body><![CDATA[Crazy Beautiful was a delight to read. I was expecting it to be longer, but nevertheless, it was still a sweet story. The writing was excellent, the characters were layered, and the plot was engaging. It's a definite improvement from her previous book, Secrets of My Suburban Life.<br/>Lucius was a c...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76591679">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think that if I never read Perfect Chemistry by Eckeles I would have really loved Crazy Beautiful.  Really, this book has many of the qualities I love in a book: true love, a &quot;good girl &amp; bad boy&quot; plot line; roots firmly set in the classic Beauty and the Beast; the ability to be read in ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71106821">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A take on the Beauty/Beast fairytale that isn't borne out by the execution, which is lackluster. It is nice that the author didn't pad the book out endlessly and I think this one will be picked up because of the cover and the fact that it will be a relatively quick read for most. <br/><br/>I do ha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60640094">more...</a>]]></body>
