It starts the summer when Cameron’s parents die suddenly in a car crash, the very summer when she has her first kiss with a girl, her best friend Irene. Why did I read this book: I love Contemporary LGBT YA stories and this one has been highly recommended all over the internets. The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and unforgettable literary debut about discovering who you are and finding the courage to live life according to your own rules. Ultrareligious Aunt Ruth takes drastic action to “fix” her niece, bringing Cam face-to-face with the cost of denying her true self-even if she’s not quite sure who that is. Just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, her secret is exposed. To Cam’s surprise, she and Coley become best friends-while Cam secretly dreams of something more. Beautiful pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and not making waves, and Cam becomes an expert at this-especially at avoiding any questions about her sexuality. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Relief she’ll never have to tell them that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl.īut that relief soon turns to heartbreak, as Cam is forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth. When Cameron Post’s parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief.
