Wonderful in every way, all the feels and all the inspiring, helpful, heartbreaking thoughts.
I can't get enough of Jeanette Winterson's writing.
Having some nutty Religious parents of my own it's really helpful to see someone else struggling then succeeding to manage despite it.

I felt like a part of me had been left on the pages of this book…I felt as she ended her journey of sexuality & discovery she ends feeling confused rather than completed—confused about her place in the world in terms of who she should love and how the topic of sexuality impacted those around her during this time. Being shielded from openly gay people, to the other end of the spectrum where one retracts from their openness and falls into the void of being “normal” - a shell of who they were supposed to be. A really amazing & thought provoking book <3

i didn't appreciate this when i read it in highschool but i think i would now

Lesbian canon. A must-read.
