breadsips's review against another edition
5.0
I inhaled this collection. Jackie Kay captures the inner life of, and dynamic between, queer women so crisply and so tenderly that I had to put the book down a couple of times to breathe deeply. If you are a queer woman in, or out, of love, do yourself a favour, and read this book.

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as I did Why Don't You Stop Talking, but it's still a really awesome book. I just love the way she writes, her use of language, everything.[return][return]As with her previous short story collection, most of these are about queer people (mostly lesbians, though the last story is about gay men), though this time they seem to be mostly not about people of color (only two (IIRC) are specified as being PoC and many are specified as being white, with a few that don't indicate one way or the other).[return][return]I think my favorite stories were Wish I Was Here, My Daughter the Fox, and The Mirrored Twins.
