I’m not really an anthology reader but this one was actually really good. I enjoyed most of the stories and I love how much I related this. You get to see black teens living their best queer and nerdy life, not afraid of being judge, they’re just themselves unapologetically and it’s absolutely refreshing to see. I would’ve loved this as a kid but even as an adults, it still had me in my feels.
