![]() This is a good I'm not going to shut up about, and I can't wait for the release date so I can get this book on my shelf. So, there is some bittersweetness to the ending but there is so much hope and that's what made me truly love this book. it's not going to leave people the same way they went in. That's not to say I wouldn't want a happily ever after for every character but if you're dealing with a subject like conversion therapy. Frankly, if the author had decided to just let the characters shrug off everything they endured at camp and move on like nothing happened, I'd have been extremely disappointed. It's a brutal, painful read, but it ends with hope. In the span of a single book, I loved Connor and Marcos and Molly and Darcy and all the other queer boys and girls trapped on an island from hell. ![]() I want to applaud the author for that because a book like this should make you feel. I rooted for Connor and his friends I cried for them I got angry for them. From the moment this book started, I knew it was going to make me feel - and it certainly did. ![]() ![]() To have the people who are supposed to love you no matter what send you off somewhere to be tortured into "fixing" or "curing" yourself is. Anything that might be a spoiler will be tagged as such, so if you decide you want to take a look that's up to you.Ĭonversion therapy has always been a heavy subject for me and many others. I'm going to be vague in this review until the book actually releases because I don't want to spoil this wonderful, painful, hopeful story for any other readers. ![]()
