Happy Saturday bookworms! Welcome to my review of I Have Something to Tell You Young Adult Edition by Chasten Buttigieg. Thank you to Simon & Schuster for sending me an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book comes out May 16th! content warnings
Homophobia, bullying, mention of suicidal thoughts and depression This edition of I Have Something to Tell You is adapted for young adults and is a memoir detailing Chasten’s experience growing up gay in a small town. It talks all about his journey to acceptance and self love, and aims to inspire young people across the country to embrace who they are.
This memoir was heartwarming and inspiring! I thought that this young adult adaptation did a great job of being engaging and informative. One of my favourite aspects was the writing style. It felt as if you were having a chat with Chasten as he told the story of his childhood. The tone was very conversational and open, which made my reading experience even more enjoyable. As he recounts his past experiences, Chasten touches on several topics pertaining to LGBTQ+ youth. He also imparts general life advice, about everything from school to future life plans. I Have Something to Tell You is a great resource for LGTQ+ youth, allies, and adults, it even has some discussion questions at the back of the book. Chasten's childhood photos were also fun to see and added another personal touch to the book as a whole. A beautiful story that will inspire many young adults. I gave this book 4/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's a wrap on my review of I Have Something to Tell You by Chasten Buttigieg! I hope you enjoyed it! Do you read memoirs and non-fiction books? Let me know in the comments below!
