Like the best coming of age books, you see yourself in it. This book broke my heart, so naturally I reread it about a year later and it broke me again. Raw and real.
Oh! I had forgotten about this book. I read it in 2015 (thanks Goodreads), and I remember now that I absolutely loved it. I was so overcome with emotion. Such a heart-tugging story!
It follows the life of June Elbus, a 14-year-old girl, whose gay uncle had died of AIDS in the 1980s, and the subsequent friendship she develops with his boyfriend.
Such a different book. Love to find a story that is refreshingly original, but not so weird that it doesn’t feel comfortable to read. I looked forward to every chance to read this one, and enjoyed thinking about it again after this post! Thanks for the reminder!
Yes, twice, which is rare for me.
It’s really good

I totally forgot about this one. Yes, this was a good book.
Loved it but had my book club read it and they didn’t like it.
Our book club had a really good discussion about this even though not everyone loved it. I thought it was really good.
