At God's Promise, Cameron meets her new friends Jane Fonda, Lakota two spirit Adam and her roommate Erin.

Why or why not? Turns out, The Miseducation of Cameron Post resonates much more deeply than the typical YA novel, filled with pitch perfect detail and honesty, devoid of condescension: a book to be shared by all. Coley's brother Ty and his friends interrupt them and Cameron quickly leaves. Relief that they would never know she had just kissed a girl a few hours earlier. There is no moral of the story crammed down your throat, no secret agenda. Meanwhile, Ruth and Ray get engaged. She does not get to confront Coley before she leaves.
Reverend Rick Roneous, the leader of a new full-time school that treats gay people called God's Promise, visits a Firepower meeting, which makes Cameron and Coley uncomfortable.

At points I felt like there were too many unnecessary details of a daily routine that didn’t help to build the world of Cameron Post.

Cameron gets a letter from Coley that expresses her shame at what had happened between them, which upsets Cameron. The book, which comprises three parts—“Summer 1989,” “High School 1991-1992,” and “God’s Promise 1992-1993”—explores themes of homosexuality, grief, and religion.
Cam's friendship with Coley develops into something intense and unexpected, something that could leave room for more. In this case, I really enjoyed the things that "were not said" in the movie - the actors were able to convey with facial expressions and their body language what they dared not say out loud. Indeed, most of the novel is specifically written as a typical coming-of-age novel; Cameron is a typical ‘90s teenage character who (stop me if you’ve heard this before) has lost her parent, smokes and drinks, and falls in with wrong crowds. When her parents die in a car accident, Cameron's first thought isn't horror, or denial, or anger. Written by Emily M. Danforth and published in 2012, The Miseducation of Cameron Post depicts lesbian teen Cameron Post’s coming of age in Miles City, Montana.
Cameron Post, in the book, comes across as naive but sexually curious, whereas Chloe Grace Moretz, in the movie, portrayed Cameron as a typical young teen who just wI made the mistake of watching the movie before I read the book.

Cameron invites her best friend Jamie to prom. June brings a great assortme...When Cameron Post's parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. How do they change over time? It's a story of a girl dealing with the loss of her parents while on the brink of womanhood, and it is told beautifully, honestly, and lovingly.
