Very poignant memoir...I was really touched by the author's vulnerability in sharing so much of themself with the world, but also felt many times where the book served as a mirror to reflect on my own self as well. I loved how much of the book focused on the author's family and all the ways their various family members supported them. It was such an honest depiction of what it was like for them growing up Black and queer, both the challenges and the joy in being able to live authentically, and is definitely a book that will stick with me for a long time.
