Tall, meaty, muscle bound, and hairier than most throw rugs, Dylan doesn t look like your average fifteen year old, so, naturally, high school has not been kind to him To make matters worse, on the day his school bans hats his preferred camouflage , Dylan goes up on his roof only to fall and wake up in the hospital with a broken leg and a mandate to attend group therapy for self harmers.Dylan vows to say nothing and zones out at therapy until he meets Jamie She s funny, smart, and so stunning, even his womanizing best friend, JP, would be jealous She s also the first person to ever call Dylan out on his self pitying and superficiality As Jamie s humanity and wisdom begin to rub off on Dylan, they become than just friends But there is something Dylan doesn t know about Jamie, something she shared with the group the day he wasn t listening Something that shouldn t change a thing She is who she s always been an amazing photographer and devoted friend, who also happens to be transgender But will Dylan see it that way Download Beast By Brie Spangler – kino-fada.fr It took me a while to decide that I really liked Beast It s funny, it s charming, but it s also a tough read

much better than Dylan.Also, FYI that the gorgeous cover is totally misleading as to the tone and content of the story and the retelling aspect is very slight.This review has been hidden because it
