A review by futurama1979
The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth

5.0

I literally cannot even begin to get into it with this book.. maybe it's bc I'm a dyke too but genuinely this is the most realistic, honest book I've read all year and it took me the fuck out. Danforth really REALLY got the "being young and gay in a tiny, shitty, rural town in an agriculturally driven state away from any big cities/gay culture trying to figure shit out" down, and for that I have to sue her for emotional damages.

Actually though the complexity and honesty of Cam's character, the fucked up shit she goes through, her friends and relationships, how she grows up and how well Danforth writes that maturing just in the syntax/diction she uses... bro... and then the closure at the end?? The swimming into the lake w/ the candle?? This book fully made me bonkers crazy.
