I enjoyed quite a few of these, moreso ones towards the start, though a couple fell flat for me. I liked to see the ace representation woven through, but I felt at times that ace and aro were used or represented interchangeably and I would have loved to see more representation of asexual romantic relationships (though there were one or two shown). Overall, good representation, not just in terms of ace rep but also other LGBTQIA+ identities, race and disability. I think it's a good read if you like short story collections.
