- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
3.0
Most characters present white and able-bodied, so it didn't feel very representative of the "full spectrum" as indicated by the description.

I received this arc for an honest review
I loved that it was short stories for all different types of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Some of the stories felt were too short, I wanted more! Though I liked it, I think it's mainly using older voices so it's not really YA. There are a few where it's a flash back with their younger selves' but it's with characters are all older. So, I think it would be better for "new adult" like your 19+ crowd. BUT if a teen is wanting to read it because they are becoming their true self and wanted to read stories from all walks of life and how people found their place then they should totally give this a read.
