marlobo's review against another edition
3.0
I know that usually anthologies are mixed bags yet I love them anyway, and I love them all the more when they're published for the benefit of a good cause. There is not wasted money in such cases and I regard and respect all the authors for theirs contributions.
Hence, it doesn't seem fair nor mandatory to me softening my opinions; it's simple: a good cause always prevails over a personal opinion.
Alex by Caitlin Ricci - 3,5 stars
Linked with Socks, the last story. I truly enjoyed the duet
Redemption by Alessandra Ebulu - 3,5 stars
Still Life by Andrea Speed - 2,5 stars
Sammy by Dianne Harstock - 2 stars
Pretty Boy and Frankie by C.J. Anthony - 4 stars
Blood is Thicker than Water by Leta Hutchins - 3 stars

Nothing but Himself by Jana Denardo - 2 stars
Safe Harbor by Rin Sparrow - 2,5 stars
Map to Bogriv by Blaine D. Arden - 1 star
Timethieves by Layla M. Wier - 5 stars
I cannot help it, I have a soft spot for paradoxical stories, and this combines pinpoint accuracy and emotion in a wonderful way
Turning Around by Kayla Bain-Vrba - 1, 5 star
Finding Home by Piper Vaughn & Xara X. Xanakas - 2,5 stars
Hearth & Home by B. Snow - 2 stars
Never Leave by Kenzie Cade - 2 stars
A string of somewhat outmoded clichés acceptably written
Castle on a Cloud by Tayla Andor - 2 stars
Crash Pad by Lor Rose - 2 stars
Long Way Home by April - 1. 5 star
Esperanza by Vicktor Alexander - -1
I'm so sorry but this story seemed awfully simplistic and childish to me; so bad that I cannot help but to call on a negative rating to establish its distance with the other stories from the anthology.
Socks by Caitlin Ricci - 4,5 stars

elephant's review
4.0
This book is an anthology of short stories written by supporters of Project Fierce Chicago, whose "mission is to reduce LGBTQ youth homelessness in Chicago by providing affirming, no-cost transitional housing and comprehensive support services to homeless LGBTQ young adults." The proceeds from the sale of this book go to support that cause. The stories cover a variety of genres from romance to fantasy and Science Fiction as well as reality based stories. Some of the stories were very well written and I enjoyed them very much. I think my favorite story in the book is Timethieves. I do highly recommend the book with a warning that there is a lot of adult content in it. Sadly, many of the stories are not well edited. I do hope that if the authors continue to write that they will hire editors in the future because editing is important.
