Kiss Number 8 by Colleen AF Venable
5.0
A fantastic depiction of growing up religious, conservative, and queer. I see myself in Amanda, and having such a character made this one of the emotionally moving reads I've had.
The way Venable and Crenshaw combine art and dialogue to show how memories can be twisted was phenomenal and added depth to the story, characters, and energy of the novel.
Not everything was wrapped in a pretty bow at the end, but that's what life often is growing up queer - some things turn out okay, and you just have to cling to them.
