cecilialau_'s review against another edition
Sometimes this book read like fiction to me. Especially in the beginning. There were parts that were hard to read as the reality of class and family dysfunction sets the scene for narrow-mindedness and being more concerned with being ānormalā than being curious about and loving your child. It feels like thereās a long way to go for self-acceptance along with the heartbreaking realisation that acceptance from the family (due to societal expectations/perceived standards) will not happen. It scratches the surface of class issues and lack of resources, i.e. opportunities and education, to show and embrace inclusivity. Itās worth a read.
