“
Coming out is a long hard road. It's twists, turns, and switchbacks can be painful and confusing, not only to the one coming out but also to the ones she loves. Carrie Highley guides us through the sometimes heartbreaking confusion of her path with bravery and tenderness. It is an important story that will surely help others find the way to accepting their true selves.

The Author employs a well developed sense of place. She does a great job of describing the gulf that gradually grows between two good people who decide to end their relationship. She has a talent for describing herself and how she sees herself. I really appreciated the sentence on page 26. "I was a bit of a misfit growing up, a square peg that had a hard time fitting into this round world. I can't believe this is Carrie Highley's first book.
