i’m so glad that my mom gave me this book a few months ago and pointedly told me that i needed to read it. it’s taken me ages to get through because of how often it makes me cry, but chanel miller is an amazing writer and the way she conveys feelings i’ve never found words for will probably stick with me for years

i can’t really criticize the writing of this book, just because it’s the uniqueness and importance of this story that sets it apart. it is a story that absolutely needed to be written. what’s even more amazing is that such simple writing could capture the lived intricacies of gender and sexuality in so many shades.

good companion piece to her films and good on its own if you don’t know who she is. Very sad and raw the most emotions I’ve felt in months.
