Wow!! This was my first five star read of 2022 and it deserved each and every star. This anthology promises hope and joy and it DELIVERS. There was incredible diversity of both experiences and identities represented, which I loved. My personal favourites were Perfect by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow and Just Like Chest Armour by Candice Montgomery. I also really enjoyed the graphic novel contribution called Seraj Captures the Moon by G. Willow Wilson and Sara Alfageeh - I think it would make an amazing full-length graphic novel. 

As a side-note, I listened to the audiobook which was read by Siiri Scott and Neil Shah. This was really well done; I especially liked Scott’s narration. 

Ugh, I didn’t want this to end and now I’m sad that it has.
