Essential Queer Memoirs!

this one gets darker and very serious but it comes from a place of exploring identity as a young person through your teens and so i think it's really important to have this you know in the mix

the end of the first chapter just takes my breath away it's written in a much kind of more maudlin like dour way than the musical is which i'm grateful for the musical in that way but it also is just like you know it's a lot to take on reading but i'm so glad i have

this is like a touchstone forever in like my favorite books of all time if you've ever related to my taste in queer books or books and you haven't read this one yet i would definitely do that

there are some like show-stopping lines in this book that are heartbreaking and like way too true and very honest very vulnerable and beautiful i have so much respect for this writer putting her story out there like this

it is a raw and very real account of a struggle through bullying addiction realizing that they're hiv-positive but it's ultimately a story about self-love and staying true to yourself

you need to read this book if you read anything that i'm talking about today it needs to be this one i'm sorry to all the other books but this is just essential in reading
