   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) settingshadow | Aug 19, 2023 |  It is not a beauty and the beast retelling -- or if it is, it is so subtle as to unrecognizable, so I was disappointed about that. It is a pretty great teen love story with angst and sorrow and self-hatred and learning. It is very appropriately written for a teen audience, so it didn't really do that much for me as an adult reading it - but I appreciate that there are many things great about it. It doesn't have the knock it out of the park funny dialogue of TFIOS, but there are some definite similarities. And yay for trans characters who kick butt and take names. (  ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | ) queenofthebobs | Mar 28, 2020 | Jamie is the beautiful transgender girl that he meets in group therapy who makes him feel like a normal person. I don't want to give away too much of the story but Jamie makes this book for me. She has a kick-a@@ attitude and has no problem standing up for herself. I don't really consider this book to be a retelling of the classic but I enjoyed it all the same. ( ) DMPrice | Dec 23, 2017 |  ) bibliovermis | Aug 24, 2017 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year A Rainbow Book List selection A YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults selection A witty, wise, and heart-wrenching reimagining of Beauty and the Beast that will appeal to fans of Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan. 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 more 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? Praise for Beast: "Writing smartly in Dylan’s voice, Spangler artfully represents both main characters: the boy who feels like a freak and the witty, imperfect, wise trans girl he loves. Very lightly borrowing on the classic fairy tale, she allows them to fail and succeed without resorting to paper villains or violent plot points to manipulate compassion. A believable and beautiful human story.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred review "Spangler’s captivating portrayals of Dylan and Jamie offer piercing insight into the long, painful battle to shatter stereotypes in order to win dignity, love, and acceptance.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred review.
