[Meagan Cahuasqui · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of good pieces in here, a few ok and some just didn't resonate. But what strikes me most about this collection is that it was published I believe around 2016, I read it in 2026 (10 years later) and somehow so much still remains true about living as a queer person in the world.
