This is a well written book.  The author does an excellent job of presenting the main characters emotions.  It is a hard read because it covers a lot of hard emotional topics.  I would have liked less language and sexual references.  While both are mild, it is not something I enjoy in reading; thus I give the book three stars.

The main character has a Religious parent who does not treat them well either physically or mentally. It also covers the main characters struggle with faith, self-esteem, and sexual maturity.

Oh my god, this book was so good. I’ve realized recently how much I really love a good coming of age story (might be my favorite type of story, honestly), and this is an amazing one. I’m not a poet, but I’m a writer and this made me feel things.
