The "main" realationship was disgusting. And not just because it was really fustrating that she kissed every girl she became friends with, but because it was based on cheating. 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. You both are. Now Cameron must battle with the cost of being her true-self even if she's not completely sure who that is. The antagonists aren't painted as two-dimensional villains - they are real people raised in a society that teaches them that homosexuality is wrong and they genuinely believe that they are helping these kids by teaching them to follow God. And there's something so unabashedly honest about that. ella empieza a experimentar culpa y por eso busca la forma de afrontar las cosas como ella mejor puede.

I tend to be a patient reader and maybe it get interesting at the end, but when neither the narration, nor the characters, nor the story get my interest I just think it's better to stop. Other readers have said words like "heavy" or "dry" to describe the writing and I have to agree. Maybe other people will love it, but it's not my case. Cameron Post is a teenager growing up in a small town in Montana in the early 90s. Her parents die in a car crash the summer she's 12, right after she shares a kiss with her best friend. Her aunt Ruth, an evangelical Christian, moves in as Cam's guardian. Fast forward to her high school years and Cam is desperately in love with Coley Taylor, a beautiful, "straight" girl who seems to reciprocate Cam's feelings somewhat. But then aunt Ruth discovers Cam's secret and ships her off to a school to "de-gay" her. As I said, the first half of this novel really puts a focus on Cameron discovering her sexuality and this was one of the most organic progressions, especially considering the outside circumstances of Cameron's time period. The second half then focuses on Cameron in this conversion therapy setting and it is breathtakingly phenomenal. Conversion therapy is the harsh reality for queer people out there, and though this novel takes place in the 1990's, conversion therapy still exists today and the power a story like this can have goes beyond words. It shows the truth of conversion therapy and the absolute horror of teaching kids to hate themselves and believes they're "dirty sinners" - a difficult conversation to have, but a necessary one. Cameron's journey from a child to a young adult didn't feel preachy, pretentious, or too prolonged. She makes mistakes, contemplates life, falls in and out of love, and basically lives like a real yet somehow extraordinary human being. She's frank and sometimes feisty, but that voice won me over. There were themes that ran throughout the novel, but none of them took center stage over her development as a character. How do you think Cameron can tell the difference between the adults who truly have her best interests at heart and those who have their own agendas?This novel is easily in my top favorite novels of all-time and it just blew me away. The Miseducation of Cameron Post reads like a classic, like a good classic, and I personally believe it should go down as a classic.

Many consumer products (e.g. Pringle's, Bubblicious, Sunny Delight) are mentioned by name, mainly because Cameron and her pals are shoplifting them or mixing them with liquor. The writing was so, so good. It was so clean and lovely and spot on. Cam was the perfect narrator. She was funny and smart and so, so conflicted with all the feelings. And the book gave ME ~ALL THE FEELINGS~. Every scene for a while with Coley and Cam was ripe with tension and electricity. It perfectly captured how it feels to be with someone for the first time, to kiss them, and all those adolescent emotions. LGBTQ cinema is out in force at Sundance Film Festival," proclaimed USA Today. "The acerbic coming-of-age movie is adapted from Emily M. Danforth's novel, and stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a lesbian teen who is sent to a gay conversion therapy center after she gets caught having sex with her friend on prom night."emily has her MFA in Fiction from the University of Montana and a Ph.D in English-Creative Writing from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. For several years, she was an Assistant Professor of English at Rhode Island college. emily has also worked as a lifeguard, a swim instructor, a bartender, a waiter, an aquatics director at a YWCA, a door-to-door salesperson (for one summer in college), and a telemarketer (for about 2 weeks in college). Like everything starts fine, but then the narrative starts vocalizing feelings you’ve tried to place before? And before you know it you’re completely immersed and trying to understand why your chest aches?
