ezismythical's review against another edition

challenging emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

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.
