"How I Resist" by Tim Federle is a heartfelt and witty collection of essays that explores the challenges and triumphs of growing up as a queer kid in a world that often feels unaccepting. Through personal anecdotes and humorous observations, Federle delves into themes of identity, family, and resilience. He shares his experiences navigating adolescence, the complexities of relationships, and the importance of self-acceptance. Balancing humor with poignant insights, the book serves as both a celebration of individuality and a call to embrace the diverse experiences that shape who we are.
