Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This coming of age story has never been told before, but has been lived by millions. I saw some universalities in the black queer experience, from shame to euphoria, this book encapsulates everything. I haven't been able to read an entire book in a very long time. It's been months since my last book, which is unusual for me. I used to devour books when I was a kid. This book was different though, I tore through it in two days. You don't know how much you need to hear stories that you can relate to until you have one in your hands. I loved everything about this book. I'm giving it 5 Stars because it kept me captivated. The discussion of the intersection of blackness and queerness was superbly done. I cried multiple times reading this, happy tears and sad tears and tears of commiseration because I related so hard to this story. I highly recommend it, especially if you're a black queer person who always wanted a connection to your blackness, but never felt really seen in the black community. There's community enough for all of us. I'm very happy I read this, it was so necessary right now. I'm not alone.
