Nuanced, realistic fiction that feels like the best books I discovered as a teen in the 90s - which were books written and marketed to adults. This is much more an adult novel than a YA novel in terms of its scope, although it's about a teen. A lot of that has to do with how it's written in hindsig...
I honestly wish more YA LGBTQA novels were written like this, the author did an amazing job at bringing Cameron to life. Danforth shows Cameron exploring her sexuality without completely ignoring the other parts that make her who she is. Cameron spends just as much time dealing with her grief over l...
"I told myself that I didn’t believe any of that shit, but there it was, repeated to me day after day after day. And when you’re surrounded by a bunch of mostly strangers experiencing the same thing, unable to call home, tethered to routine on ranchland miles away from anybody who might have known y...
Read for Banned Books Week. The Miseducation of Cameron Post became the center of controversy earlier this year when it was banned by the Cape Henlopen School Board from the 9th grade reading list, after it was placed on the list by a consortium of librarians.

I was pretty impressed with Danforth’s novel about discovering ones’ self; Cam definitely struggled wit...

I'd seen this book in Waterstones over and over and never picked it up until one day when I went on a book binge and grabbed a copy. I've always been fascinated with the idea of 'degaying camps' in America but the only other time I'd seen anything about it was when I watched that cheerleader movie. ...
This book has been recommended to me so many times I can't even remember them all, so I finally decided to give it a go. I can see why people are so fond of this book, and why it's recommended as one of the best LGBTQ+ books out there, but I wasn't really a fan. I found it pretty difficult to real...
