I knew it centered on a young lesbian who ended up being sent to “pray the gay away” camp, but it’s… I hesitate to say so much more, because I think that every queer story is valuable. It’s a title I remember from my bookstore days, trying to give it the much-desired face out. (See our attention spans regarding Fantastic Fours and Spider-Mans.) And both of those are nonfiction titles, which mean that I’ve been without a fictional character breathing in my ear with how weighty and real they seem for quite some time.īut The Miseducation of Cameron Post put that to rights. But it seems like the last books that I truly adored and found myself practically drowning in ( Women in Clothes and Truly Wilde) were months ago, which, in nerd time, is practically an eternity. When I first realized this, I thought it couldn’t be true-2015’s been a pretty solid reading year so far, especially with my determination to read more lady authors than gentlemen authors this year. It’s been a long time since I read something as good as The Miseducation of Cameron Post. ![]()
