Customer Reviews

Beast is a mess

The only good thing about the book is that Dylan, the 15 year old MC, was written like a true 15 year old boy, so I ended up hating him. The main character was transphobic. And yet Jamie, a trans woman, decided to continue to fall in love with him. She deserves so much better than him. She deserves someone who isn't so blatantly transphobic as Dylan was when he first found out. She deserves someone who doesn't push her away several times. Obviously, I can't speak for trans women, but this seemed so unbelievable, I was screaming at this book the entire time
