Every shade of red
Lovely retelling of Robin Hood's story. I really liked both the general vibes and the characters

The Coven
Enjoyed the supernatural element, but by the end I was more confused than anything else.

Molly's Lips
The emotional rollercoaster really caught me off guard (in a positive way). I loved Molly's thoughts and her struggles, I even shed a few tears

New Year
Loved the setting, 50s in San Francisco's Chinatown. Quick but great insight in the life of chinese-americans in those years, and even if the queer theme was more teased than anything, it felt realistic. Only wished it was longer.

1600, art studio in Amsterdam. Constantjin is a perfect student – he never gets distracted by the women posing nude as models. He might get distracted by something else...
Witty, fun, and more light-hearted than other stories, it was a sweet read.

It's the 70s and Dee likes skating, and pride and prejudice. She doesn't like kissing.
I wasn't immediately sold on the story, as I kept wondering what was "special" about Dee, but once she starts talking about how she feels about kissing and sex and so on... Asexuality is less of a popular topic in queer spaces and it's nice to see Dee in love but asking herself questions about what she really likes.

1717, Virginia colony. Two girls running away from marriage and towards each other.
Cute story. I liked Clara a lot, her adventurous souls and quick wit. I'm not a big fan of the instant-love trope tho, and this didn't carry as much emotion as the story before it.

First story is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood set in Mexico during the war, around 1870. I really liked it: I liked how the queerness was included in the story, the choice of setting and characters, the hint of supernatural here and there. The author's voice was powerful and you could easily feel the fear, the rage and the longing of Emilia. Lovely story
