(2) YA Six-foot-four fifteen-year-old Dylan (nicknamed Beast) meets attractive Jamie in group therapy for self-harmers. Beauty and Beast fall for each other; but while Jamie is open with Dylan, including about her being transgender, Dylan is absorbed in his own problems. Spangler's representation of Jamie walks a razor-thin line between manic pixie dream girl and a humanly complex transgender young woman, but she's frequently successful.
