I requested and received this book from NetGalley. My opinions are my own.

This is a graphic novel about a catholic boy learning to love and accept himself  & God at the same time. It hit me sight in the religious trauma, though I was raised Baptist and not Cattolic. 

This book captures the identity crisis many religious queer people experience at some point in their lives. That terror of loosing the community youve spent a lifetime building. The Faith rattling, earth shattering moment you come out. How the reactions of those people you tell could change the course of you life forever. The fear of hell. The question of "If God is Love", then why can't he lous queer peaple, love me? 

Although I did not take the same path as Mark (the Mc) I have been in similar shoes. I enjoyed the way the story is told by Mark and through the stories of saints. (I just realized how profound I find this book.) I loved the ending. The art is beautiful and I love how the biblical character's appearance change with Mark's understanding of them. The story itself is a bit sad but that saddness is broken up by some silly and funny moments. I enjoyed this book. However, I do wish it had some form of bibliography.
