Just Me was collection four lovely and refreshing YA, LGBTQ stories. It was about feelings and life of queer young adults that included problems they face in the world, self-identity as queer for first time, their feelings on coming out to world and family, accepting and expressing true feelings, love, friendship and family.

1. Wilde Girls by Deidre Huesmann- enemy-to-lover trope with a bit clinched arc but I still enjoyed the story
2. Broken Rules by Roxas James - lovely romance with heartbreak, and discovering gender for first time, first time reaction and doubts.
3. Bullet Me by Medeia Sharif - This was my most favorite story. amazing story with message of supporting fellow students, standing up against manhandling, harassment and perverts mistreating girls; about positivity of journaling, how it’s therapeutic, helps in organizing thoughts and feeling.
4. We’ll Always Have This by Kate Larkindale - This last story was so emotional. It was Leo and Jack’s love story that started at heavy and sad time and place, at hospital. End was great with finding hope and love amidst dark time of life.

Overall, each story in Just Me was compelling, fast paced, engaging anthology with lovely romance, interesting characters, and amazing message. I highly recommend this book.
