How Beautiful the Ordinary: Twelve Stories of Identity by Michael Cart

5.0

The very first story here is a punch in the gut for anyone of the LGBTQ community and it had me head over heels for this book from the start. I could take or leave some of the stories but overall, this was incredible. And the forward is right. For a long time, teens couldn't find books about people like them. I know I couldn't find YA books about bi girls while I was struggling through high school as a bi girl. It's so commonplace now that I think we forget how special it is. This collection is an excellent reminder.
