This is a coming out story about a girl with a pretty isolated and unique upbringing. I read it for a queer book club and fell in love with it. The writing is pretty good and there are some great and even funny moments, but my 5 stars are a little biased as the storyline in NYC just reminded me of my own journey there. If you have ever been to New York City as someone who lived elsewhere then this book will bring you back.
