Atonement Camp for Unrepentant Homophobes
by Evan J. Corbin
emotional
funny
hopeful
lighthearted
fast-paced
Thank you to @pridebooktours & @atonementbook for a finished copy of Atonement Camp for Unrepentant Homophobes in exchange for an honest review!
Synopsis: Homophobic Pastor Rick is sent to an atonement camp run by drag queens and full of glitter and alcohol. Sent to the camp for his homophobic views, will he atone for his homophobia while surrounded by drag queens, or will he remain steadfast in his views?
Review: When I first heard of this book, which takes a unique spin on conversion camps, I knew I had to read it. It was funny, entertaining, and more than I could have imagined. The writing flowed very well and immediately pulled me into the story. I never lost interest in it, and I laughed so many times.
Even though the book uses humor to tell the story of Pastor Rick, it also touches on a lot of deep topics related to homophobia and christianity. I would recommend looking into the topics discussed before picking up this book if you are in the queer community.
Why you should read this book:
π unapologetic drag queens
π glitter, glitter, and more glitter
π trans* rights, equality for LGBTQ+ people & POC
π a female president and first lady
π a world with universal health care and sex positive sex ed
π homophobes are not tolerated in society
TWs to consider:
death of a parent (off page), toxic christianity, (internalized) homophobia, trump supporter, mention of suicide, transphobia, inappropriate use of pronouns, torture
