Shoutout to How to make love to a physicist and Dear Sister, best in the collection.

Really enjoyed the different characters and styles across the short stories, made for a great read and the LGBTQ representation was excellently nuanced and complex. Will definitely be looking out for more from Deesha Philyaw!
