I had a great experience reading this book. It’s one of the first memoirs I’ve ever read and I have to say I think it’s a great one to start with. 
It deals with so much: race, gender sexuality, death, trauma, family and friendship. 
I like that the prose is very accessible and the chapters are short. The subject matter can be fun and lighthearted but can also be heavy at times. 
It’s a great read and I do recommend it.

I read this for a college course and it was so good. I don’t know if I personally would categorize it as YA because the sexual and violent scenes were quite graphic. I identified with the book which surprised me because I am a cisgendered white woman.
