Short story anthologies are such a brilliant way to try out new authors, I was drawn to this by seeing that Zen Cho had a story included and while her story was my favourite (a man who has recently parted ways with his boyfriend uses a past life reconstruction service, and what he sees in his past lives makes him reevaluate the present), it had serious competition, several have me wishing for more and will be living rent free in my mind for some time. To be fair, some went over my head completely but I’m relatively new to sci-fi so I didn’t find this off putting. If you enjoy love stories and think time travel is a cool concept (and every author here has a different take on how time travel works and how it effects society) then you are in for a good time.

What a fun short story collection!! Time travel is such an interesting theme to center romance around— some stories were more sci fi than romance and vice versa but most were thoroughly enjoyable. Enjoyed the number of queer stories too!!

Look, is every story great? No. But most of them are really solid! I like that a clear effort was made to include non-White authors, and that so many of the stories are very gay. It’s definitely worth a read!

I really liked the concept of this anthology - but I think eventually the common thread of time travel and love story made this feel a bit redundant. Would read again to have Alix Harrow, Sarah Gailey, and Theodora Goss in the same book though. ❤️
