Reviews
"... a strong amalgam of confidently written portraits that consider the joys, pains, and complexities that can come with being young and queer." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "A handful of gay adults rounds out this fine collection." --Booklist, starred review "An essential read, this collection breaks free from the dichotomy of representing LGBTQ+ lives as total tragedy or one-true-love, happily-ever-after coming-out stories." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
