description: Ellie always had questions about who she was and how she fit in. As a girl she wore black obsessed over Willow in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and found dating boys much more confusing than many of her friends did. As she grew older so did her fears and a deep sense of unbelonging. From her first communion to her first girlfriend via a swathe of self-denial awkward encounters and everyday courage Ellie tells her story through gorgeous illustrationsa fresh and funny self-portrait of a young woman becoming herself. The Times I Knew I Was Gay reminds us that people sometimes come out not just once but again and again; that identity is not necessarily about falling in love with others but about coming to terms with oneself. Full of vitality and humor it will ring true for anyone who has taken the time to discover who they truly are.
