I’m kind of over reading queer trauma. I don’t know if my experience is linked to having listened to the audiobook (narrated by the author) but to me there was a lot of jumpiness and things left unresolved.
There was some healing and joy sprinkled throughout and in the last chapter.
Overall not a fave and wouldn’t read again - though I normally love memoirs.
Whilst it was nice to have someone be honest and not an angel or whatever, it was also hard to feel for someone who it felt listed a lot of bad things they did without saying how they resolved this?
