I initially picked it up as my next read because I discovered [via Tumblr] that it was becoming a feature film. I\u2019m one of those snobs that like to read a book before seeing the movie or TV show it\u2019s based on. [That doesn\u2019t always happen though.]<\/p>\n<p>The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a Young Adult novel about a girl coming to terms with her queerness. It will make you laugh out loud, it will break your heart and you will throw things because who the fuck sends a person to gay conversion therapy? A fucking maniac, that\u2019s who. [I\u2019m looking at you, Aunt Ruth.]<\/p>\n<p>Cameron is an extremely relatable character, because while I may not have been sent to Christian Conversion Therapy, I kept my queerness a secret for years until my Birthgiver figured it out when I was 20. I was so beginning to love Cam and Coley until Coley evidently spilled the beans about Cam\u2019s sexuality. WHAT THE FUCK, COLEY? Not to mention, Cam never gets any closure about that.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a bit of artwork in this book but the one that made me laugh the most was Lindsay\u2019s postcard to Cam.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/wZM55oMl.jpg\" class=\"gr-hostedUserImg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One thing I did find to be pretty drudge-y is the author\u2019s seemingly DESPERATE NEED to talk about everything country and Montana while trying to tangle all this nostalgia into the plot.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this was a GREAT read if you can get through the drudge-y bits.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to warn to some triggering bits with this, there\u2019s a character that self-harms and it\u2019s mentioned in detail. May also be a little graphic because it definitely made me cringe.<\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/1917173212\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M.
