All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens Throughout the Ages by Saundra Mitchell

5.0

Rosa was a summer girl and I was a winter girl, but that fall we made magic.

My only complaint about this anthology is that I wish it had some aromantic rep (my identity keeps getting ignored that's cool lmao) and that the stories weren't so westernised (there was some latinx & chinese-american rep though which was cool) otherwise it was INCREDIBLE !!!

Also heads up that labels aren't really used at all which isn't necessarily a bad thing because I don't like using them for myself but I know how important they can be for others!!!!
