4.0
I have never read a story that covers ace people and there are more "i have never read ..." phrases I could drop about "QUEERLY LOVING" all of which made me very happy to now have had.
Since it is a collection of very varied writers there were two stories I skipped that did not work for me. BUT the three I loved most need to be mentioned here: "Miss me with that gay shit" >> tonality, humour and light-heartedness, Sacha Lamb - you rock! "Dragons Do Not" >> a protagonist getting the gender + pronouns of their dragon right. I am not crying, you are. (Evelyn Deshane, can we have a whole novel of that? Pretty please?!). And "Hunt and Peck" >> there is something tomboy-ish about typewriters as an ... instrument that only Teresa Theophano made me see.
Do judge this book by its cover for once, it is what you get. A queer bunch of loving stories in the most colourful mix.
