Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book!

I have been anticipating this for a while now, so I instantly hit request when I saw it on NG.

I adored the artwork and the colour scheme was gorgeous. There were a lot of people I knew about already, but some I had never even heard of! It was very nice to learn about them.

My main problem was that I personally thought this lacked representation of the LGBTQ+ community. No ace, non-binary, or pan rep etc...hardly any trans rep (maybe 5 out of 53), so that was a little disappointing. I know it's impossible to represent everyone, but there are 53 people represented here, and most of them are gay, lesbian or bisexual, which is great and amazing! But 53 is a big number and, personally speaking, I would've liked a little bit more.

Overall, a very quick and enjoyable read with stunning artwork and great icons.

A great little book about many different people in the LGBTQ+ community. From singers to writers to activists it doesn't leave anyone out. There's even a few people I didn't know. I do have to say the one thing that is missing is Elton John. One of the biggest singers in the world isn't in the book which is odd when they involved others like Sia and David Bowie.
