A review by elizelizeliz
Sticker by Henry Hoke

4.0

This series of vignettes both gave me a sense of Charlottesville (i loved the mix of perspectives from childhood and adulthood) and built a picture of Hoke's life, especially coming of age as a queer kid. It was fun and easy to read and pulled me along, but with these moments of tenderness punctuating the book. I don't always like essay collections, but this felt like a mosaic of a memoir.
