I wouldn’t necessarily recommend writing your reviews for the books you finished in May in August, but it did make me realise I read two queer memoirs by older British writers in that month (Jackie Kay and Jeanette Winterson). Kay’s focuses less on her upbringing and queerness and more on connecting with her birth parents as an adult. Raised by white communists in Scotland, Kay’s upbringing was definitely unusual, and her anecdotes are often equal parts funny and sad. I loved that her parents were so supportive of Kay finding her birth parents, and this book primarily focuses on that journey - oftentimes a rollercoaster! It’s easy to read, very warm, like having a cuppa with the author as she regales you with her life story.
