This book follows the journey of young Cameron Post, a girl whose parents die just as she begins to discover her burgeoning homosexuality. And it sounds really strange and trite when put that way, but there's so much to this novel. Cameron's day to day confusion with liking girls seems so real and present, despite it taking place in the early 90s. Eventually Cameron's religious aunt sends to a de-gaying camp, and that's where I felt the book dropped a star, in my eyes. It was great to see Cameron grow as a person, even if she was confused ninety percent of the time. Following her story as she slowly realized who she was and who she could be was a delight. I just wish it didn't feel like the book simply ended.
