emotional reflective

5.0

this was such a painful yet heartwarming book, a very emotional read. i love a good coming-of-age book and this one just hit a bit too much. i really enjoyed following cameron growing up and dealing with grief, friendship, love, sexuality, etc, and a lot of her struggles were very relatable to me. the religious aspect was a lot to read, as well as the conversion therapy, but i feel like it was very realistic of the time and town she was growing up in. still was very heavy to read though. and there are a lot of very dark aspects of it and it's definitely just an intense book at times. 

i love love loved the found family aspect, as well as the whole story of discovering your identity. its such a vulnerable book and it was so easy to connect with cam and her struggles. i was so invested in her journey and really loved the depth of her character. such an important and emotional book, i enjoyed it so much.
