I received a digital ARC copy of "Like a Hurricane" from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review before the publication date. My review is my thoughts, my opinions, and my point of view and was not influenced in any way by anyone or anything other than myself.
"Breathing, for real, for the first time."
I was expecting a short story about a boy coming out as gay. What I got was a long poem, complete with visual effects that really captured the feelings of coming out. The writing was lyrical and the visual effects on the words really added to the experience. I too have come out as queer in my life, and feel this really felt relatable. There's beauty and pain and fear and love written on these pages. The author did a beautiful job here.
