Recenzii

A beautiful read for a long summer holiday, and a much needed portrayal of lives so seldom seen in YA
Review of the film: A lot of times when a movie is called "important" it's hiding the fact that it is boring or dated or loaded with fake drama. Not here. The Miseducation of Cameron Post will be a panacea for gay kids for years to come, so for that our prayers have been answered.
