Borrowed from my local library & the cjtalksbooks club pick for July (late reading)
I found it hard to rate this book knowing it's based on the author's real life. Some heavy topics, beautiful prose and a story about coming of age/coming to terms with your childhood & sexuality during a lot of turbulence.
