With letters from eminent queer people and allies in music, television, theatre, and politics, this book covers the wide and beautiful queer spectrum to create an inspiring resource for anyone who has ever struggled with growing up different. Each letter is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, a celebration of diversity, and a reminder that love transcends all.

★★★★★ | Really moving and relatable.
Many of the letters felt like my own story growing up, honest, emotional and full of heart.
Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing! ❤️

These letters are so important to hear I wish everyone can have access to them and hear what they have to say. Despite the range of experiences they all give valuable insight and perspective into what life has been and is possible for queer people- it’s uplifting and inspiring and not in the superficial way because of their vulnerability. Especially with the stories we have been told where it’s so easy to be disheartened and fall into the echo chamber of hopelessness and tragedy for our future, it’s a breath of fresh air and a wake up call to realise how far we’ve come, and to keep on going.
We get a glimpse into what the writers needed to hear and it’s not all the same statements, it’s so deeply entwined with all that they are. A level of past-self awareness is shared amongst the writers, these letters have the power to resonate with our community regardless of age or current position in our journeys.
I listened to the audiobook version on Spotify and will be revisiting it again.
