Passing is a thing that happened and I'm sure there are still many, many quadroons and hexadecaroons walking around without a clue. I've always felt sympathy for the people who passed, and this book definitely gave me a new / another understanding. (I mean, who can be mad at you for wanting better for your life and your family?) To be moved so much by a book show just how good it is. That being said though I do not feel sympathy for Stella!

Anthologies are particularly tough, for me, because you're diving into a whole world for only a few pages. This anthology, however, is beautiful! I wouldn't say all of them are hits, but they all are certainly good. Only one story got two stars from me. The rest were 3.25 and up to 3 stories I considered worthy of 5 stars. Three! In an anthology! I had to give bonus points because for every story I went "Mm, gay people 🥰" . It's just so nice to have stories about us. Multiple stories! In one book! Happy Pride.

This one hits a lil too close to home for me because I too currently work in healthcare with a woman who has memory loss and I too am gay and have a girlfriend and I too do not like my roommate and I also do not have children. I am all of these characters. So extra points for being relevant to me and the life I currently live but who knows how I'll feel about it next year. I like the way the emotions are expressed. Even though it's a translation of a language I don't know I feel they did the original justice.
