The Miseducation of Cameron Post - Penguin Books UK

Cameron kisses both boys and girls and engages in hot, heavy, and explicitly described sexual experimentation with several girls. For Cameron, much of this is focused on the fact that she is a lesbian, but it didn’t have to be--this story would have been just as compelling if she’d been strait. As I originally stated, at it's core, this novel is a lesbian coming-of-age story - an underrepresented but crucial narrative. Swear words come up early and often: "F--k," "s--t," and typical variants ("f--kin'," "f--ked up," etc. Because most of us were pretty unbearable as teenagers, and I found her prickliness and defiance to be sympathetic and very real.I appreciated how honestly teenage sex and experimentation were portrayed, in a way that didn't feel tacky or sensationalized. It is not preachy either for or against the nature/nurture arguments of homosexuality, it is the story of a girl finding and accepting herself in a time and place where so many obstacles stand in her way.

The novel's protagonist is Cameron Post, a 12-year-old Montana girl who is discovering her own homosexuality. I don't care if you are closeted, cheating is cheating and if you are messing with someone's realationship, especially if the third person is innocent, you are disgusting.Cameron's dead parents seem to have a lot to do with her determination, independence, and strength of character.

I’ll admit I was intimidated by its girth, but I found every moment that I spent reading filling me up in a way that hearty wheat bread can fill your belly--with nourishment and substance. But just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, ultrareligious Aunt Ruth takes drastic action to "fix" her niece, bringing Cam face-to-face with the cost of denying her true self--even if she's not exactly sure who that is. Teen novelist Malinda Lo wrote that Danforth's writing style in Miseducation was "multilayered in the best way, with a gradual, deliberate accretion of details that creates a resonant whole.

Ruth, Ruth’s fiancé Ray, and Gates of Praise Pastor Crawford stage an intervention to address Cameron’s lesbianism and perceived corruption of Coley’s innocence. Even with such a hot-button topic, however, it somehow manages to refrain from outright condemnation of those who oppose its views.
