A review by zacharyjboone
A Boy's Own Story by Edmund White

3.0

Read this one very quickly...I will always choose a queer book over a non-queer one, but this just felt a bit "of it's time" and I cringed at some of the societal assimilations the author puts the main character through. Not in the sense of how trying and difficult queer life has been in decades past, but a lot of outdated views on psychiatric needs and mental health behavior in general.
