Instead of a banned book, this should be required reading.

This could be really informative to anyone, from a young teen who knows very little about queerness to a they/them adult who had  different experiences. It’s useful to hear about other people’s journey. I particularly was surprised (and loved) how this book ended- not with a declarative “I know exactly how to exist now” but with a, “I’ll try again next time”. I think everyone just wants to have everything figured out, and the idea that you don’t have to, even as adult, is a refreshing one.
