Queer Catholics gather round, this one is for us.
I’ve never read a book that so accurately represents the Holy Spirit. Her flame is divine and powerful and lives within us all. 
Going into this I knew it was about Boy Scouts and coming of age but I had no idea it would speak so honestly of the Catholic experience and the complexity of the inner mind, especially during that big jump into Highschool. 
I was so moved by this book. I definitely recommend it.
