An semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story about a young lesbian growing up in a highly religious community in the North of England. The narration was so endearing with its childlike innocence, and the exploration of religious trauma and questioning one’s beliefs after growing up in the church was really well done.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s one I’ll definitely come back to and hope I have better luck understanding some of the stories interspersed within. Love the reflections we get to see as she grows up and faces her “demons” and that it’s not sugar coated - it’s hard and lonely and it’s also absolutely impossible to turn back once you’ve seen it.
