The Miseducation of Cameron Post is the heart-breaking but ultimately healing story of Cameron Post, a young girl discovering her sexuality in the 1980s. Danforth captivatingly transports the readers into Cameron’s turbulent life and together with friends, family, and first-loves, she evokes the emotional experience of being denied and eventually uncovering your true self.
Miseducation also tackles the struggles of LGBT+ people of colour, and the misunderstanding that can often evolve from lack of empathy. Overall, Danforth has managed to create a beautiful insight into teenage lives that leaves readers feeling hopeful. Plus, it has just been adapted into an award-winning movie of the same name.
