What a fantastic, refreshing read. I'm usually not one to read short stories, but this was such a treat and I loved almost every story (the few that I wasn't blown away by were mostly due to me not getting into the writing style of a few authors; their ideas still rocked nonetheless). I loved the range of queer characters and their stories along with the various time periods that were explored. It warmed my heart to see so many talented queer writers share stories that are clearly dear to their hearts. Not only has this opened my eyes to the possibilities of short story anthologies, but I've also acquired a laundry list of authors I NEED to dig into. Beautiful collection. Hands down one of my favorite things I've read this year so far.
