A mixed bag as almost all anthologies are, and some of these are more vignettes than stories proper, but I enjoyed most of them. (I did skip a few that didn't grab me). There's a fair amount of diversity, a decent amount of bi men and trans rep which is great, and a definite avoidance of the usual tropes of love triangles and cheaters (more POC would have been great though and with the caveat I skipped about 3-4 pieces, no trans women). Favs include older women in love on a ship in 1985 (by Jane Rule set in the Pacific Northwest, including some brief side content about Indigenous people that is pretty terrible!), Chinese American fantasy, a trans man coming out and saying goodbye to his dad in Guam, and an old guy befriending his bi boi neighbour.

I can't anymore, a lot of the stories are very badly written and can't get myself to continue anymore

I received this as an ebook from Netgalley in return of an honest review.

Some of the stories I like but unfortunately most of them I really didn't. Which is a shame because I felt some of them had potential. Also, I was really looking forward to some good stories about bisexuality.
It was kind of a dissapointment.
