Speaking as a queer person from a conservative small town who has struggled with mental health and ideation, this book found me at the right time. I cried, I laughed, I paused in reflection. I loved this book and recognize it is not for everyone. Due to its content I would struggle recommending to another person without knowing their history and experience with those triggering topics. And yet, this book has found me at the right time and I loved it.
