The miseducation of Cameron Post 2018 movie

Image
Small and significant, Desiree Akhavan’s “The miseducation of Cameron Post” is delicate abuse and force-feeding of gay conversion, matched by Chloe Grace Moretz’s most calculated performance to date. She blends in, blooms, a salvation for this girl’s career from being erased. Cameron Post (ChloĆ« Grace Moretz) looks the part of a perfect high school girl. But after she’s caught with another girl in the back seat of a car on prom night, Cameron is quickly shipped off to a conversion therapy center that treats teens “struggling with same-sex attraction.” At the facility, Cameron is subjected to outlandish discipline, dubious “de-gaying” methods, and earnest Christian rock songs-but this unusual setting also provides her with an unlikely gay community. For the first time, Cameron connects with peers, and she’s able to find her place among fellow outcasts. Adapted from Emily M Danforth’s 2012 novel by Akhavan and co-writer/producer Cecilia Frugiuele, it

Djara Book 1 by Kat Evans

When I first started to read “Djara” Book 1 by Kat Evans, I didn’t know what to expect, but a lesbian romance enveloped in a western story (It is so much more than that). I read all the reviews, of course, but they didn’t tell me much (best kept secrets) and the title didn’t help solve my mystery, so I just read and read until the end , where it left me panting for Book 2. After few pages all I imagined in Djara was Sharon Stone in the “Quick and the dead”. Somehow I tend to compare characters I found alike in the smallest of details. It is not the same character of course, but Djara is not driven by revenge like Ellen and there is nothing alike between the characters. The only similarity is the looks, the long blonde hair, her beauty, their emotions and the gunfighter skills. sharon stone with horse in quick and the death as djara Loved the choice of names. Eden is a beautiful name. Djara’s name origin is from old Norse gera, gĆøra, gĆørva, from Proto-Germanic *garwijan

The touch of a woman by K.C.McGregor

I know I have said it before, but one of the details that make me choose a book to read is it’s title. The title of K.C. McGregor’s “The touch of a woman” suggests one of the main characters has never been with a woman before, meaning she is totally straight. Another good reason for it to be a great read is the fact that both women are at the crossroads of their lives at second ages, which suggests both of them have some life experience and a hell of a lot of emotional baggage and they bring their own baggage in their relationship, even though involuntarily. decides to be going with her maiden name now, simply Ellis Keene, you will see why in the book, and I won’t disclose it because it’s a very important twist in the plot.

Her three children support her, especially they know

The Rhythm Tide by Frankie J.Jones

Everytime I choose a book to read, I have got two criteria to consider: the title and the description or the author’s note, if available. The title is appealing, one can look at it from different angles, but it suggests the passion of the sea, life’s up’s and down’s, that each of us tries to balance or rather, find a balance. The description was also nice, it’s always nice to read about a straight woman fall for another woman who knows exactly what her sexuality is: a lesbian in acts and facts. And, a romance is always a romance. Yet, this is not the typical lesbian romance: it has drama, strange decisions and awkward relationships, the reader can guess the development of the plot, but it is never certain of it. The book starts with a rather confused woman with suicidal thoughts standing on the shore and starting to go towards the sea and get over with the guilt, the horrors and her life. I believe this part is very well written and transpose the reader in the skin
