Thank you for giving me this arc!!
“I often think of how much love is lost as gay kids grow up. We are robbed of the chance to experience the innocence of early teenage love. Because you spend all that time with fear, mastering your own pretence.”
Wow…..where do I even start. This book is absolutely stunning. The journey of Obiefuna was captivating but also heartbreaking.
This story is about self discovery—growing into the person through experience and struggles that people and the world shape around you. It also shows how the love of a parent cultivates the relationship that you have with yourself.
“ It’s one thing to love a child, but it’s an entirely different thing for the same child to feel loved. A home is the last place a child should feel conditionally loved.”
