This isn't just a beach read; it's a gut-punch disguised as a celebrity memoir. It’s perfect for older teens who have outgrown YA and want something with more teeth, or for parents who want a book that actually moves fast.
It deals with some heavy stuff—abuse, loss, and the systemic homophobia of the 20th century—but it does so with a lot of heart. It's the kind of book that makes you want to Google people who don't actually exist because the world-building is that convincing.
