Defiant Hearts is a collection of short stories surrounding the lives of different lesbian women of the 20th century, narrating their experiences of love, queer friendships and obstacles, the fight for queer rights, and the diversity of the lesbian community.
I really enjoyed this book and how different the characters were. I specially loved the stories narrated by old characters, that gave the reader a perspective on the advancement of queer rights movements and the cultural differences.
I loved how flawed some characters were, meaning this book wasn't a collection of romance stories, but of friendship, of hardship, of cheating and struggling, of discovery.
I'd definitely recommend this book.
