Utterly beautiful and thought-provoking.
Thank you to the author and the publisher for this ARC through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Kristi M, Reviewer
Such a beautiful collection of stories and poems. I especially liked Coupling by Kath Gifford which blended a speech by Margaret Thatcher with her original work.
Bethany C, Reviewer
The best way to support Pride Month is to listen to and lift up Queer voices — so this is definitely the perfect book for that.
It’s hard to give an accurate review of this, because it contains 30 pieces of work with such unique voices, styles and topics that can’t be summed up with an overall critique. But the common themes between them is radical acceptance, love and understanding and that shines from the pages. It goes from dating, to family, to identity and belonging, to society and gives a unique queer lens on life and love that was a joy to read.
From lyrical poetry, to clever short stories, mini-memoirs and think pieces, and thoughtful essays — there is a breadth of knowledge and experience that went into creating this collection along with the talent that is definitely in most of the works inside. It’s easily readable and you can definitely jump in and out as you like (but you probably won’t want to put it down)
