Synopsis
When Cameron Post’s parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief they’ll never know that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl.
But that relief doesn’t last, and Cam is soon forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth and her well-intentioned but hopelessly old-fashioned grandmother. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and leaving well enough alone (as her grandmother might say), and Cam becomes an expert at both.
Then Coley Taylor moves to town. Beautiful, pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. She and Cam forge an unexpected and intense friendship—one that seems to leave room for something more to emerge. But just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, 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 exactly sure who that is.
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.

Le sujet est important et touchant, mais impossible pour moi de m'accrocher à l'histoire.
Quelques passages qui trainaient en longueur, particulièrement au début du livre selon moi, mais une histoire très intéressante, et révoltante par bien des aspects. J'ai beaucoup aimé la façon dont l'histoire est racontée, et j'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé la fin :)
Un roman en trois parties un peu inégales, la première est longue à démarrer. Mais j'ai trouvé que l'histoire était traitée de façon très réaliste. On entre vraiment au coeur de la découverte de Cameron d'elle-même et de sa sexualité. Même si cela va bien au-delà et on découvre ses réflexions sur des questions essentielles.
