Less of a memoir, more of a series of disjointed essays that fail to deliver a cohesive narrative. Still a beautifully written and gut wrenching piece.

A heart-breaking memoir that also brings hope for the future. The author's voice is very evident and I felt so much of my own story as I read his. It is so important to write and publish stories like this - both so others know they are not alone, but also so others understand what their actions do.
I couldn't put this down.

the book is heavy and raw and if you have experiences with being queer and being rejected by your religion it will make you cry but also feel seen
