An emotional and honest telling of someone finding her identity. The writing style reminded me of a journal or blog, in the way that writers online openly share their stories, their pain, and their triumphs. It’s moving, hard to read at times, but ultimately hopeful.

This book was smartly plotted and emotionally resilient, with bits of cutting humor, and I loved it. Yes, the premise is subject to debate in the climate we live in, but honestly the LGBTQIA+ issues are second to the relationships and the families in the story. A great way to end my reading year.
