challenging dark reflective sad medium-paced

4.25

Heart-wrenching, searingly honest and shocking. There was occasional “finding my journey” speak which came across a little cringe; plus the SA chapter was incredibly difficult to read and felt overly sympathetic to the abuser, even with the disclaimer at the end of the chapter. In addition, the fraternity parts read like self-immolation rather than self-realisation and finding family, but what do I know? I’ve never been in one. You can’t fault George for his honesty though.

This book is so vulnerable — I don’t know how you can give it less than 5 stars! The author shares his experiences growing up and navigating the intersectionality of black and queer identities. His personality really shines through in the audiobook & I really enjoyed listening along!

This book was fine. I appreciated that I got a Black queer perspective, but I don’t think the book was meant for me because not much resonated.

Felt a little preachy at times, but I really enjoyed the parts when he was talking about his life.
