… so I had this arc via NetGalley so thank you.
This is an anthology about queer love and queer life (duh). I really thought this would be about queer joy, because of the title… but haha nope there are stories that were hard to read, like stories about death, missed love stories,…
Not all the stories did it for me, and to be honest, a lot of the stories did not do it for me. Like there are some that were amazing, that made me feel so much. But not enough for me to give it 4 stars. Also, even if it’s a queer anthology trans women and transfem writers were clearly missing most of the time. It felt like a lot of men (cis and trans), and some non-binary people.
