it’s mini golf and driving with the windows down and prom night drama. it’s freshly squeezed chain restaurant lemonade and bouquets of wildflowers and crying into tepid bath water. it’s rainy days and staring into open flame. it’s become my strange little home.
i’ve read this book many, many times now, and of course i’ve made many a critique over the years. it’s by no means a perfect feat of literature, but i love it all the same. for small-town, mentally ill, queer, and ex-religious people, this one’s for you.
