Summary
Set in rural Montana in the early 1990s, Emily M. Danforth’s The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a powerful and widely acclaimed YA coming-of-age novel in the tradition of the classic Annie on My Mind.
Cameron Post feels a mix of guilt and relief when her parents die in a car accident. Their deaths mean they will never learn the truth she eventually comes to - that she's gay. Orphaned, Cameron comes to live with her old-fashioned grandmother and ultraconservative aunt Ruth. There she falls in love with her best friend, a beautiful cowgirl. When she’s eventually outed, her aunt sends her to God’s Promise, a religious conversion camp that is supposed to “cure” her homosexuality. At the camp, Cameron comes face to face with the cost of denying her true identity.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and provocative literary debut that was a finalist for the YALSA Morris Award and was named to numerous “best” lists.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Missing sections
essential sections of the text were cut out (like letters and notes), the narrator herself was great though.

Excellent book, wonderful narrator
I've seen some reviews saying that this book is slow and all the interesting stuff happens at the end, but I love the American lit style of rich, decadent description so I really enoyed it. Also, I liked the whole book as a character study, so the drama towards the end is just a part of all the experiences the protagonist goes through.
I'm also really glad I listened to this as an audio book as the narrator was excellent (except the attempted English accent) and they added so much to the emotional scences. One of the fastest listens I've had in a while as I just couldn't get enough.
So if you want a trip to 90s-mid-west-nostagligc USA, and you like picture painting narration, this book is for you. Personally, I also thinks it's a powerful story about the treatment of outsiders in society that's worth hearing.

One of my favourites
The perfect mix of drama with a bit of romance. Relatable main character, I've listened to it 3 times now. The narrator does a great job too, I think her voice fits perfectly

Witty, rich and engaging rights of passage tale of remarkable young woman
From the start, Emily M Danforth’s vivid descriptions plunge you into both the wilds and the suffocating small town atmosphere of Montana. The story explores a remarkable young woman’s teen and young adult experiences of being gay in a conservative Christian area, her experiments in sex, romance, relationships and abusive attempts at conversion ‘therapy’. The sensitivity and solidarity in the narrative style reveals Cameron’s strength and smarts. Wit and and rich metaphors celebrate and critique this time and place in American society. Beth Laufer’s narration brings Cameron beautifully to life so that you cannot help but take her into your heart.

Sequel, please?
Beautiful story, so thoughtfully written. So detailed, I checked twice to see if I'd missed somewhere that it was a true story. I'm terribly sad to think that I'll not hear more about Cameron and the others. So much is left to tell, I'm sure. I would love to know what happens next- even if the story did tell the most crucial parts, making it all the more powerful.
The narration, as well, was exceptional. I checked to see what else she's done, as I'd buy a book just on her skill- but nothing? Is this her first narration??? Fantastically well done.
I would absolutely recommend this book. Especially if you like getting to know the people in a book, and don't mind if there are no explosions or superheroes :). A powerful message given gently, in a superbly told story.

Story and narrator are great but parts are missing
The story and narration are amazing but there are some parts missing from the audiobook. I don't know if there is a problem with my download or if the original recording has accidentally skipped some parts.

Long winded and only half a book
Narrator was brilliant, but the story was sooooo! Drawn out, practically every hour of everyday. Only when the fight back began did the interest ramp up then the book ended without any real resolution of anything.
