![]() Cameron doesn’t just kiss Irene, she kisses other girls too, and even falls in love with one of them. The coincidental timing – of Cameron’s sexual awakening and her parent’s death – makes for a tangled mess of emotions, one that she struggles throughout the novel to untangle. That might not seem like a shocking secret to be hiding in today’s day and age, but in early ’90s rural Montana? You can understand Cameron’s fervent fear of discovery. Earlier that day, she had been kissing her best friend Irene (and shoplifting with her, too, but that’s by the by). ![]() To her great shame, Cameron’s first reaction upon hearing the news of their death is relief. ![]() Her parents die suddenly, tragically, in a car crash (NOT a spoiler, see the opening line!). The story begins the summer Cameron’s life veers wildly off course. The titular character, Cameron, is a 12-year-old girl living in rural Montana in the early ’90s (actually, in Danforth’s hometown of Miles City). It turns out, The Miseducation Of Cameron Post is a coming-of-age young adult novel.
