This was quite the book. George M. Johnson is an incredible person, and their story is a very important one for everyone to hear. The incredible thing about this story is that while most memoirs are about someone with a very unique or unusual story, Johnson's is very commonplace, it just has hardly ever been told before. On top of its importance to society, the book is also full of stories about Johnson's life that are heartwarming, sad, and everything in between. I'm so glad I got to experience this book, and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.

I don't feel that I can rate this book. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but I think that's because it's directed towards a younger audience. I can see how this book would be really great and affirming for teens and tweens - particularly Black queer boys. I'm glad it's out there in the world!
