The cover and the description in Goodreads don't match the actual book at all. This anthology was fine, but a bit disappointing given SLG's history and catalog of cartoonists. It could have been so much better! You'd think someone could have at least ...more

On the one hand, this was a quick and engaging read. Binged it in a day. On the other, how did she take a cross-country road trip in 2021 and not catch covid? And I agree with a lot of other reviewers of this book. If the point is that polyamory makes ...more
