The acclaimed book behind the 2018 Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning movie"LGBTQ cinema is out in force at Sundance Film Festival," proclaimed USA Today.

Danforth's novel, and stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a lesbian teen who is sent to a gay conversion therapy center after she gets caught having sex with her friend on prom night."The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and provocative literary debut that was named to numerous best of the year lists.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 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, and Cam becomes an expert at both.Then Coley Talor 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, 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 quite sure who that is.Don't miss this raw and powerful own voices debut, the basis for the award-winning film starring Chloë Grace Moretz.

"I’m an LGBTQ+ teen! I got this book for the incisiveness but stayed for the relatability and the content. I just... Every word, every situation, I related to Cameron because I WAS Cameron at one point. The book covers sexuality in a way I haven’t seen often and I don’t want to spoil anything but, especially if you are a queer youth, I encourage you to read this.. You won’t be disappointed."
"I feel the pace of this novel is best described as languorous and meandering. As such, it took me a rather long time to read, because I felt I had to keep pushing myself back to it. At 480 pages, <i>The Miseducation of Cameron Post</i> is rather lengthy for a young adult novel. It isn't written in the style of most young adult contemporary novels, either. It reminded me more of adult "literature" with its pacing, environment, reflection, events, symbolism, and lack of consistent action. <br/><br/>Overall, I really enjoyed the messages and the story that <i>Cameron Post</i> had to offer. I just would have preferred they had been delivered in a more succinct manner."

"All the better the second time around. <br/><br/>If you want a book about a queer character exploring themselves that isn’t necessarily romance, this is for you. The characters are wonderful, the scenario is realistic, and, in my opinion, the end is perfect. It is a bit slow, but if you can get past that, it’s wonderful."

"It’s definitely worth it so much more than the movie "
