As a trans, queer, sexual assault survivor with religious trauma and a plethora of daddy issues, this book got to me in a way I wasn’t fully expecting. But it brought words to the things that I’ve only ever kept to myself or told few friends. So thank you. Here’s to my fellow survivors. Let’s knock ‘em dead.

Although while reading it I could help but think about how a major plot point was basically a stolen Seinfeld plot

Books about religious trauma and the LGBTQIA+ community are normally books that I avoid because of the parallels to my own story. However, I wanted to see this book through. As I continued to read and listen (I borrowed the audiobook from the local library) I found myself becoming emotionally attached to Jonah and his story due the similarities (minus conversion therapy). Jonah is portrayed as a write and it is clearly reflected in the way “he” writes a love letter to self on his journey of discovery and forgiveness. More importantly, I think Jonah is writing to liberate “you.”
Yes, Daddy was an enthralling book that I found difficult to read (again personal connections), but even harder to put down. My sole critique is I wish there was a content warning listed somewhere in the book prior to starting, so one can prepare themselves of the potential journey they are about to embark upon.
