I want to say a big thank you to Eden for letting me read an arc for this book before it comes out!
With that being said, i dont normally read memoirs, but when i do, they are queer or something i heavily relate to, and this was both!
This book is, at times, hard to read in a very realistic way as she recounts her traumas. Traumas that i sadly related all to well to! Reading about something that you connect so much to can do 2 things leave you feeling powered or saddened, and this was powerful! There was hope in the darkness of this book, and i think that is all because of how wonderfully written it was as well as added Eden now at 27 touches!
If you are queer or know someone who is and is struggling, read this book! I think it's massively important for queer people and people around queer people to read to get a better understanding of the life the love and the struggles we can go through!
