This was incredible. It's only March but probably my favourite read of the year? Which is such a nice change because I usually find it hard to get into non fiction and essays. All of it was so deftly, fantastically written that it was a struggle to pick out a single favourite quote. Other strong quote contenders: the rose garden growing back stronger, the reason why you write in the face of adversity. Chee is an insanely talented storyteller, and has so much to say about life experiences, identity, activism, love, growth, trauma and writing itself. I feel like a different person after reading this, and trying to sum it up in this review feels cheap.
