It felt liberating to read characters who were unapologetically Black and queer even in a world that is so unforgiving as New Dawn. Neer was my favorite character, and "Nevermind" was a unique story that questioned what womanhood even means. "Timebox Altar(ed)" was so wonderfully hopeful and it was a great way to end the book. It even made me cry a little. Dare I say that I want this as a mini-series?

The book deals with memory loss and modification. In particular the fourth story has a character who experiences a dementia-like condition because her memory wipe went wrong.amradio's review against another edition

I'm also surprised (in a good way) in the little ways some of the stories were connected
Honestly the book is also inspiring for me to complete my own writing so thanks for that
