A story of love, desire, pain, loss - and, above all, of survival with real appeal for fans of Jennifer Niven, John Green, Nicola Yoon and Becky Albertelli.

The night Cameron Post's parents died, her first emotion was relief. Relief they would never know that hours earlier, she'd been kissing a girl. Now living with her conservative Aunt in small-town Montana, hiding her sexuality and blending in becomes second nature to Cameron until she begins an intense friendship with the beautiful Coley Taylor. Desperate to 'correct' her niece, Cameron's Aunt takes drastic action.

Now Cameron must battle with the cost of being her true-self even if she's not completely 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.

Reviews for The Miseducation of Cameron Post

"A beautiful read for a long summer holiday, and a much needed portrayal of lives so seldom seen in YA -- Shiftworker * Shift * Review of the film: A lot of times when a movie is called ""important"" it's hiding the fact that it is boring or dated or loaded with fake drama. Not here. The Miseducation of Cameron Post will be a panacea for gay kids for years to come, so for that our prayers have been answered. -- Jordan Hoffman * Guardian *"
