This is exactly the book I needed while working on finals! I could dip in out of stories and most of them were really cute!!

Very strong anthology overall. My personal favorite stories were Nilah Magruder's, Mackenzi Lee's, Malinda Lo's, Dahlia Adler's, and Elliot Wake's. My number one favorite of the collection was Tehlor Kay Mejia's, which moved me to tears.

I loved this anthology, it felt like every story was a banger. I wish I could read each story's expanded book because they're all so interesting. I also loved the fact that they all take place in the past. We have always been here.

What a book to finish on the first day of pride month.

Every queer person should read this anthology at least once in their lives, it is healing, and will soothe parts of yourself you didnt know were hurting. Imagining people be so unapologetically queer throughout the ages and be happy for it is one of the nicest things I've experienced to date.

In case that didnt convince you, I should tell you that I hate short stories and anthologies with a burbing passion, but this is the first one I have ever finished, and loved (nearly) every story in.

I will definitely be looking up most of the authors in this book, because god damn they can write!!

Overall - Absolutely loved it!!
