The first half was far stronger than the second (got a tad too cliche at times), but it was a great pleasure all the same. How thankful I am for my queer elders and this story for allowing me to sit more intentionally with them in my thoughts-- while I was reading and certainly moving forward. What a bittersweet transcendant experience. And oh so funny. Truly funny. Thank you, John Boyne.
