Tell Me I'm Worthless was a challenging read for me, and very hard to rate. This book is important. I could feel so much passion and anger and love coming from the author. The writing style was almost one big stream of consciousness rant... But with a haunted house/haunted people storyline. I'm a straight cis female, but an ally for all those in the LGBTQIA+ community and I this read was super enlightening, though I felt a bit ignorant reading it. It made me want to research and look up terms, which is a wonderful thing. Definitely read this book, just be prepared mentally.
