In The Miseducation of Cameron Post, Cameron is a lesbian – she’s been attracted to girls for… forever. Unfortunately, she lives in small town Montana and her parents die the day after she kissed a girl for the first time.
It all goes downhill from there.
She falls for a straight, popular girl in high school but the girl is not so straight. She does, however, tell everyone that Cameron took advantage of her (all summer long!) and Cameron is sent off to a special Christian boarding school to learn how to not be a lesbian.
Lots of bad things happen. Some good things happen, too.
I liked the book, well enough – but I had trouble getting into it and staying in it. Too depressing because this still/really happens to kids. (Not just the deprogramming schools/camps, but the rest of it, too…)
