I chose THE BLACK FLAMINGO by Dean Atta as my first read for a readathon and ❤❤OH MY GOSH❤❤ it is EVERYTHING! Going to go ahead and spoil this review: 5 ⭐!! The whole time reading I just felt this universal and human connection... I related to some things while I know and love people who have endured, survived, and lived through a lot of the other topics and situations here. Coming out for yourself vs a societal demand and embracing YOU FOR YOU!
