This book starts off in the setting of voting for a king and queen for prom. Kyle Kingsbury, the most popular boy in high school, has the looks but his personality says otherwise. He believes that physical characteristics matter much more than personality. Kendra is a mysterious classmate who is an undercover witch that casts a spell on Kyle Kingsbury on prom night. The only way to break the spell is a kiss from a person that loves him, but Kyle does not believe this.

Kendra feels sorry for Kyle so she gives him a mirror that ...

The book starts off in the scene of students electing a prince (winner) for the dance. Kyle Kingsbury (the beast) makes fun of the other students saying that he looks the best. Then he gets into a heated argument with Kendra about looks matter more than personality.
