With all the press coverage and banning of this book, I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book. However, after reading, I can share that, unequivocally, this book is a message to all young queer persons of color that you are loved. George's story is incredibly vulnerable and intimate. They discuss their personal feelings, their relationships with their family and friends, their introduction to physical intimacy, their childhood traumas, and more. All together - as many reviewers have shared, this is a powerful story. There is plenty to love about this book, but one of my favorites is how they ended chapters speaking to the reader. They knew that there would be backlash about their story. They knew. But they wrote it anyway because they know it is too important to not share. Everyone should read this memoir as they grow.”
