So when I bumped into this book I immediately added it to my tbr. I mean, a "Beauty and the beast" retelling featuring a trans girl as Beauty? Hell yes!!

And do you know what I love the most about this book? That it doesn't focus on the struggle of being a trans girl, that it doesn't make a tragedy of her story. Jamie is perfecetly okay with who she is, and it's Dylan who has issues with his body. It's very interesting how being so big and hairy affects him in many different ways and how he faces his problems. Because he makes mistakes (like a lot), but he aknowledges them and is willing to learn and rectify. So hurrah for character development!!

And what about Jamie? I love her because she's amazing, and badass. And, as she says, it's not her job to educate people, she doesn't exist to be anybody's tragedy, nor is she brave for being trans. This is simply who she is and she just wants to live in peace.

TRIGGER WARNING for transphobia and self-harm.
