Crazy Beautiful by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

Lucius and Aurora are new students at their high school. They were both uprooted from their hometowns through very different circumstances. For Lucius, it was an explosion that he had caused which resulted in him getting his hands amputated, leaving him with metal hooks for prosthesis (because they were the cheapest option). For seemingly perfect Aurora, her mother had just died of cancer and together her and her father wanted to start fresh.

Although as different as can be, one glance at each other on the bus the first day of school sparks a chemistry between the two teens. Aptly deemed a "modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast", this story had me hooked from the first page (no pun intended).
