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

4.0

"Now I understood what my grandmother had wanted, for me to keep my heart soft but the edges of me hard enough to survivethe world as it was."

A really good collection of short stories! I enjoyed all the different time periods and sexual identities explored in each one. Also very glad for all the happy endings, queer love is something to celebrate, not mourn.

My favorites were:
Roja by Anna-Marie McLemore
Every Shade of Red by Elliot Wake
Walking After Midnight by Kody Keplinger
The Inferno and the Butterfly by Shaun David
Healing Rosa by Tehlor Kay Mejia
