This book was hard for me. I really had to take my time with it and go slowly. Elliot has (in my opinion, perception, and observation) had a very difficult life and it was tough to consume. Especially with the social work I do I had to be careful not to listen to it on the way to work so the difficult contents wouldn’t color my work. But I also think stories like this are so important to be told. To be heard. To be recognized. Elliot is a person. Their story is real. And he is not alone. We must do better in supporting and loving our lgbtq+ family.
