reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

Exploration of religious trauma and growing up, with the first love in the mix. It's heavy, but not too much.

corky12's review

This book was just too hard of a read for me. As a Christian, I hated the religious trauma the author endured at the hands of other Christian people. And I felt uncomfortable at how his experience (understandably) gave him a horrible impression of all Christians. It was just too much for me to handle.

I don't know. I realized after I had read this book it were a author biography which made it weird.

I liked the art in this comic, its nicely done with the three colours that stays consistent during the whole book. What I didn't like was sadly the story, it was allot. I do think some could have been cut from the book. I find it hard to write a review of a book about someones real life. 

Took me 2 hours and 41 minutes to read.

This was really good, and I'm glad I got to read it. It's sad that I read it because people are trying to kick it out of the high school. It's a beautiful story of first love and coming to your own faith. If you're wondering why
