The main issue with the collection for me was how insufferable a few of the characters were. Mo really annoyed me until Sydney came along and made her seem reasonable and well rounded.

There's a bid, at the moment, for stories about happy queer adults. I prefer this: the struggle to find happiness against the endless and brutal onslaughts of a system that is not designed for us and compels us — again and again — to hurt ourselves and each other. Then there are these snatches of joy and the glimpses of a better life and a story that never really ends.
