I love picking up the odd memoir, because people have such cool stories to tell! Emily Dalton is one of those special people that has a great story and a great voice for it.
This memoir is presented in an interesting fashion - kind of like poems in their odd style on the page. Despite me labeling them as "odd", I found it quite quirky and it made it all the more interesting! It's not the typical memoir, and I liked that! It spiced up my reading and had me very interested as to why the story was presented this way!
Emily falls in love with Max, but there's a wee problem - she's straight and he's gay. Unlucky as it is, this memoir presents it in such a lovely fashion. Just because that seems like such a black and white comment (you know, I put the word problem to make it seem that way), it really isn't. They can be in love but not have their sexuality define the joy they can bring each other. It's unique and lovely and gave me all of the feels! It brings hope and inspiration and makes me believe in love in more ways than ever before! There's also heart break and loss though, and you know... that hurt, but the descriptions of love... ahh. Yes, I like that.
Even so, it's more than just love. There's experimentation and other joys of life that come along to Emily. It's a coming of age story in it's own right. I just liked the love part, because I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.
Overall, I like this book! I think it's sweet and whimsical and magical and majestic. Emily is a great story teller too!
Four out of five stars.
