emotional reflective sad slow-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

I don’t want to rate this because it is about conversion therapy, which is horrible and I don’t want to undermine the book by rating it.

I will say that it taught me more about what it’s like to be a lesbian in a small tight knit conservative town and the fear that comes with it. It also discussed some of the horrors of conversion therapy. 

I will say that a lot of the writing itself was confusing and choppy but I don’t want to focus on that because of the importance of the book.

This was an extremely intriguing novel. It definitely delves into sensitive subject matter and deals with severe homophobia, so approach it with caution if that’s triggering for you, but it’s also eye opening and inspirational.
