reflective sad tense slow-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No

I enjoyed this a 3 star amount but don't want to rate it 3 stars because it was well written, if a little odd.
Just not the book for me I think. If you are looking for a queer, very literary exploration of growing up and coming of age inside a church, this book is for you.
