reflective

5.0

 It's really affirming to read queer literature which has withstood the test of time. It was wonderful when it was published and it is still wonderful today. If you liked The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, you'll probably enjoy this as well. It has a similar coming of age vibe and depicts imperfect childhoods/parental relationships in a nuanced way.

This book contains some seriously upsetting topics. Please use discretion if you are sensitive. (I'd rate it M)
