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.

This is definitely a rough read. But if you are a queer person who grew up in Christian churches, you’ll find a lot to relate to. Also this very obviously deals with conversion therapy, so keep that in mind.
