Would recommend for queer teens looking for models for how to productively channel their angst into social change - McBride very nicely captures some ideas about strategic modeling of queer acceptance in a way that I think my kids can understand and use. The reading level strikes me as just right for early high school, and the message is unabashedly hopeful. Perhaps would not recommend if, like me, you knew the author's late husband Andy and are grappling with a similarly harrowing cancer narrative with your far-too-young-for-this-shit partner. The reading experience was scary and uncanny, but I'm still glad to have done it so that I can recommend this memoir to students.
