I really enjoyed this collection. It was nice to see so many own voices stories. Disability was portrayed in many ways throughout this collection and within many genres, ranging from sci-fi to slice of life. You'll see everything from physical disabilities to debilitating mental health conditions. The stories are also diverse in race, culture, and gender identity, and a few of the stories specifically discuss the intersectionality between those topics. A couple of the stories were slightly too abstract for my liking, but I do tend to take things literally. Overall, I definitely recommend this book.
