I liked how her writing improved as I read the book. My heart absolutely broke for her when she discusses she's HIV positive. Also, her yearning for love and being completely confused by what it is.

Very nice

I appreciated that the TV series didn't follow the book because I appreciated the character development. Aunt Lydia became a sympathetic villain.

The way she talked about her father's bi-polar, from his sweet and loving side to his drunk, abusive side was very powerful. I can't imagine going throguh that experience.

I really enjoyed seeing the how the different animals coincide with current political figures and how we can be like sheep following the pigs.

This was very interesting. I was able to empathize with the authors family history and struggle with his identify.

****

This book is important because it helps young people to recognise both the signs of sexual assault/PTSD and the manners in which cisgender men, may be toxic people. Adults must teach how not to victim-blame the survior of this type of trauma, especially. Helped me feel less alone when I was going through a similar mental health crisis. Unity is crucial for healing.

my favorite book ever

I wish I read the book before watching the show! I think I would have enjoyed the book more of I didn't have the show as a frame of reference, but I still really enjoyed this read. #WPFreedomtoRead
