This book is a lovely collection of all sorts of queer stories. Reading it really resonated with things I've experienced, and also helped me understand the variety of queer experiences better. Some of the writing was not as strong as I was hoping, but all the stories were good. My favorite was definitely The Wedding After the Bomb.

Definitely one of the better anthologies I've read this year and I enjoyed the vast majority of the short stories. I think the roster was very carefully cultivated and I felt the editors did a great job of selecting the pieces.
