I find this a tough book to review. The quality of the stories feels uneven - some were fantastic, whereas some felt like a rush job for an English class. But we really, really need more queer stories out in the world! (Personally I'm trying to figure out if I'm aromantic - social norms are hard to extricate yourself from).

The short stories in this anthology are a mix of genres of moods, from the real world, to imagined worlds. Happy endings. Uncertain endings. Bittersweet endings. Dark endings. If I'm being honest, in short stories, what I most enjoy are twists at the end and a bittersweet tang. There were a few too many happy endings in this anthology, but then again, so many mainstream novels don't give their queer characters happy endings, and I can understand why the authors in this one wanted to do different.

I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could; but 4 stars because on the whole, I enjoyed the mix of stories and the diversity of characters.

(With thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced reader copy, in exchange for an honest review)

I loved that this anthology had a diverse mix genres.
Each story compiled was unique and had a refreshing take on romance and society. An absolute must read!
