Why am I pining for The Miseducation of Cameron Post?
I love the sound of Emily M. Danforth's contemporary YA debut novel, I'm not usually know for reading or adding contemporary novels on to my wishlist but I make exceptions every now and again and it is time to do so again. I'm a firm believer in the fact that it doesn't matter what gender you fall in love with, if it's your own or the opposite it doesn't matter, what matters to me is how you behave to people in general.
And yes of course I mustn’t forget that as the country girl I am I find the cover utterly beautiful, it has that last warm days of summer feel to it.

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:
When Cameron Post’s parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief she’ll never have to tell them that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl.
But that relief soon turns to heartbreak, as Cam is forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and not making waves, and Cam becomes an expert at this—especially at avoiding any questions about her sexuality.
Then Coley Taylor moves to town. Beautiful pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. To Cam’s surprise, she and Coley become best friends—while Cam secretly dreams of something more. Just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, her secret is exposed. 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 quite 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.
