I had this book on my shelf for way too long without reading it. I am so glad I was able to take the time to read it! I actually listened to the audiobook which I felt gave even more depth to George's personality since he read it himself. Some of his experiences are heartbreaking, but the book is so inspiring. He designed it to be read by young adult readers who are struggling with their own identities in order to have an ally who has been there. I understand why Johnson is such a powerful advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community; his passion and message translate easily to readers of all kinds. I highly recommend this one for anyone, but know there are some triggers to be aware of. (homophobia, trauma, racism, sexual assault, molestation)
