If you have more religious trauma than me you might connect to it more than I did.
The chunk from just after the opening until about halfway through was probably my favorite. Ironically the gay parts were not super interesting to me. Poor Melanie though.

I know the importance of autobiographical works by LGBT people, I do! But sometimes, as a wlw myself, reading accounts of so much nastiness happening to people like me is ... beyond depressing. Yeah, I get how meaningful and powerful these accounts are, especial for historical reasons, but I could barely get through this.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe I just couldn't handle more homophobia, or maybe I just couldn't handle reading about an abusive household like the one I grew up in, even if the circumstances are/were completely different. I don't know. I appreciate the book and the author's experiences (and how damn strong she was and still is), but I couldn't enjoy the book.

Minor: Adult/minor relationship
there is a brief mention of a sexual encounter between an adult and the underage (in her teens) main character that occurs in a really emotionally fraught moment. it is brief (about a paragraph) and non graphic, but though she doesn't say no aloud, she does say that shenicnevin's review against another edition
