Coming of age.
Coming out.
Being Black.
Doing Drag.
Hur många stereotypa teman kan man trycka in i en och samma bok...?
Jag gissar att det är pga detta jag aldrig läste den, trots alla hyllningar när den kom ut (sic).
Eller så handlar det om att jag ju inte läser poesi. Ju.
Men nu läste jag i alla fall, och ja, ni fattar ju var det är på väg.
Det stannar dock precis innan femman pga.... nånting.
Eventuellt enbart min stereotyp-stolthet.
Anyways. Fiiiin.
(Det är f.ö. den sista stereotypen "frånvarande fäder" som riktigt får mig på fall, om nån undrar.)

Novels in verse are always easy and pleasant to read. This one was no exception. A very sweet, tender story about a boy becoming himself. And that's amazing hovewer hard it can be.

I quite liked it! The book didn't really blow me away, but I enjoyed my time with it and am glad I've read it.

What a freeing book! I love that Michael finds himself and a welcoming bunch of friends that support and affirm him. A wonderful book!

Very quick, unique read because of verse/poem structure. Beautiful insight into the world of drag. Would have liked stronger, slightly longer third act.
