I’ve been eking this book out since it arrived on Thursday but unfortunately I am not very patient.
It’s an anthology of historical fiction about queer teens and good golly was it beautiful!
My only complaint would be that there was more wlw couples than mlm, and no trans girls though there was two trans boys. There’s also three ace characters, including an aro ace Friar Tuck in the retelling of Robin Hood here!
I really enjoyed the book and am definitely planning on getting the sequel, Out Now, which was published May this year. Also, Anna-Marie McLemore? Definitely going to get one of their novels at some point. I bought this book because I thoroughly enjoyed Jessica Spotswood’s two anthologies of historical fiction about America girls and it was similar enough (though this book wasn’t just set in America and the main characters weren’t all girls)
