brilliant. every story in this collection hit for me. on top of the showstopping range of art styles & voice cadences, this anthology boasts a robust, diverse cast that travels all the way to one end of queer spectrum to the other & makes several stops inbetween. though i, as a trans man, connected most deeply to the trans based storylines, i had no issues naturally empathizing with any of the queer main characters. bold & bright, this collection carries itself in a way that while highlighting the joy of the queer experience - doesn't shy away from the disheartening parts of it. ie; dysphoria, family rejection, societal perceptions & expectations, etc. i loved this book.

I'm usually not a big fan of antologies. For some stories I don't care and others I would love to be longer. Here are the ones I really liked in this one:

"Sea Change" by Lilian Hochwender and Gabe Martin
"Letting it fall" by Priya Saxena and Jenny Flemin
"Long Way" by Tilly Bridges, Susan Bridges and Richard Fairgray
"Ever more Myself" by Kaj E Kunstmann

A cute anthology, I think it felt incomplete. I did not vibe with every story, but the art is beautiful.
