Hough's life growing up in The Family / Children of God cult, and subsequent young adulthood in the gay scene in DC is fascinating. Being a blue-collar lesbian in the 90s led her to many "how does this even happen??" experiences. I thought the structure of the book was great—each chapter seamlessly weaves between memories from her childhood and her adulthood experiences. Her writing style itself was too conversational for my liking, though.
