i never really know what to say abt memoirs because theyre such a raw form of storytelling and i dont want it to sound like im criticizing someones life, but this book was so raw and painful in parts that all i can really say is thank you to author and i can only hope this book falls into others peoples hands as i can see it being something a lot of people will need 💖💖💖

This beautifully written book definitely comes with many content warnings for various types of SA, grooming, and trauma. 

I listened to the audiobook, lovingly narrated by the author. It’s such a gritty, raw, honest story about a queer youth finding himself, and I enjoyed every minute of it - even though some bits were tough to get through due to being quite triggering. It’s an important story that needs to be shared.

This was quite the book. George M. Johnson is an incredible person, and their story is a very important one for everyone to hear. The incredible thing about this story is that while most memoirs are about someone with a very unique or unusual story, Johnson's is very commonplace, it just has hardly ever been told before. On top of its importance to society, the book is also full of stories about Johnson's life that are heartwarming, sad, and everything in between. I'm so glad I got to experience this book, and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.

I really enjoyed this book and so thankful to have literature such as this to help support me as a 30 something black queer woman. This is a definite recommendation to all in and outside of the community. I cried, laughed, learned and so much more!
