despite being for younger readers, the memoir deals w/ some heavy themes and subject matter - albeit realistic and necessary ones - and it's unsurprising why many scared and prejudiced adults are averse to the book and have been trying to ban it.
while there are certain impactful and memorable lines thruout, i find the writing juvenile at times, perhaps bc of its younger target audience. the overall book also seems a lil scattered, not as cohesive as it could be, and the ending too abrupt imo. nevertheless johnson's memoir is an important one that sheds light on the plight of a group of marginalized voices.

mais ça c'est que la forme, parce que le fond est vraiment bien, il est important. on a besoin d'autobiographies de personnes LGBT+, de personnes LGBT+ racisé.es, on a besoin d'entendre les histoires des personnes qui nous ont précédées.
et je pense -j'espère- que c'est un de ses livres qui aidera les + jeunes d'entre nous à se sentir vu.es et moins seul.es.
il est rempli d'emotions, mais surtout d'espoir, et l'espoir est si important dans la communauté LGBT+.
