Cool. Awkward. Black. by Karen Strong

4.5

I thought this was so amazing. I don’t think anthologies are for me in general because I am not drawn to keep reading since they are independent stories. Though I think this book is so important to exist and I wish I had it when I was in high school. Nerds of all kinds, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic, religious beliefs ect, being celebrated in all of its form from contemporary stories to fantasy.  Some stories I connected with more than others but that is definitely a pro and con to anthologies. You can connect with many different stories but also other stories you won’t and I think that is okay.
