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.

1. Didn’t Bianca choose reincarnation? So why is she in Elysium here?
2. And it was the biggest flaw of the book: THE HAZEL ERASURE. Nico talks a lot about Percy, Annabeth, Jason, sometimes Leo, but he mentions HIS SISTER like 2/3 times in the whole book. And he says that no one took care of him like will since his mom and Bianca died? What about Hazel (even Jason and Reyna). HAZEL WAS THE ONE THAT STOOD UP FOR HIM ON THE BOAT IN MOA
3. Okay a little third point, didn’t he considered Camp Jupiter as a home at some point?
BUT. It’s still a great book.
1. I loved seeing Nico choosing to move on and deal with his trauma. I loved how he choose. I loved his relationship with Will and the cute names they used.
2. It made me cry and tear up so bonus point
3. This book is everything à Nico di Angelo fan, a queer person, a queer kid needs
4. I loved that Nico got in touch with Piper at the end, I really want them to start a good friendship
5. Another thing I love, is the message that darkness, sadness and other things like that are not necessarily bad. Will learned that during the story. There is no light without darkness. And he needed it because of his préjugés. And this is a strong message for anyone struggling with them
6. I love how it talks about trauma and overcoming them by letting them go and accepting them as they are.
7. THEY DID IT. They address how wrong Cupid’s scene and the outing was
Anyway. It’s almost 2 A.M so now I’m going to sleep. Good night everyone
