The Miseducation of Cameron Post
by Emily M. Danforth
I've very surprised this book hasn't popped up on my radar before. It first came out when I was kind of in my in the dark period, aka college, so it wasn't until I saw something on EpicReads about it when I got interested.
This book really is a wild roller coaster. I was practically racing through the first half, liking where it was going, seeing Cameron discover this part of herself, and explore her sexuality. It wasn't until the second half where it became harder to read.
I don't mean that there was a dip in quality, it was still fantastic. It was just so hard to read about her experience at the gay conversion camp. Everything she's told made my stomach wrench and want to cry out bullshit. While it is a tough read at those points, not every moment at the camp is suffering. It is here that Cameron finds her true family and I love the characters she encounters there.
I think this story is so important to LGBT youth still trying to discover themselves. Definitely worth a place on my suggestions list.
