This is an all time favorite. It will break your heart and piece it back together over and over again. An ode to the power of community in the face of absolute tragedy, and a desperate call for an end to such tragedy. This is an immensely difficult read for anyone who grew up in a homophobic environment, but it is absolutely worth it.

Absolutely loved it. I was a fan of the movie, and I really appreciated getting to see Cameron’s inner life and how she experiences everything. Her sardonic attitude to most of the adults in her life is the perfect compliment to the bullshit she encounters at God’s Promise.
I won’t be specific, but I think the ending (which differed from the film) was gorgeous, and has stuck with me (I imagine it probably will for years).

vkelly's review against another edition

I couldn’t handle when it was determined Cam must be sent to a conversion camp that she paid for

because being gay was considered religiously wrong.

take care reading if you are lgbtq+ or have strong support for those who are and are strongly religious.
