Super cute wide range of story types and queerness. All of them were short and sweet.  I'm not usually an anthology reader, but I loved the sampling of genres here.

I've never read an anthology, but now I'm lowkey desperate to read some more.

I absolutely loved the stories featured in this! The main thing that was so good about it was how the diversity was very intersectional. With a mix of genders, pronoun sets, religions, and races, it was amazing to explore the experiences of so many different identities.

Also some of the stories were SO CUTE.

My whole heart is just so, so full.

This is a beautiful anthology of all sorts of stories. I was pleasantly surprised by how much fantasy was here! I don't have words quite yet to convey just how beautiful and special this collection is, but I'll come back when I do and try my best to write an actual review, haha.

All I'll say for now is that I can't wait for queer kids to get their hands on this. It's going to mean so much, and help so many kids feel seen and beautiful and loved for who they are in a world that is filled with people who refuse to understand them.
