Ehhhh this one was just not for me. I think it just went over my head- I found the story very hard to follow and didn't really understand the references the author made. However the insight to what it is like to grow up in the heavily religious Pentecostal community was interesting, as Jeanette struggled between the sense of belonging she felt with her church peers and God, and their rejection of her solely because of her sexuality.
