Picked up this book based on popular review but found myself quite bored until about page 140. This is the story of Molly, a young lesbian with strong will and determination. There honestly was not enough meat to this book to hold my interest although I read the entire book and I will probably never read it again. Overall, I just found the story flat. However, I could see this being a great read for a young teenage lesbian for Molly is admirable in her strength against adversity from a very young age.
Great read! This heart wrenching memoir is the story of a young lady and her struggles to overcome her past, excell in the present and triumphantly succeed in the future. A must read!
