How We Fight For Our Lives

This is a powerful memoir of a gay Black man growing up with a single mother in a religious family, exploring all the ways that it is so difficult for the author to accept himself in a society that doesn't accept him. It's a beautiful and emotional journey that reads both like a love letter to his mother, and a journal entry to himself. I wish I had something more substantive to say, but unfortunately I'm catching up on books I forgot to review and I read this many months ago :(
