Really great writing, and I loved that there were three main story lines with different characters, and each story line was split up into two short stories with a different POV for each story. But yet they all felt like something brand new, so I thought this was a really inventive form of the genre. 

If you’re looking for books that could potentially be challenged and/or banned, this is definitely one to read. Especially if you’re looking for something that highlights the treatment of people who identify as LGBTQ+ .

Sadly this book just didn't grab my attention after 2 stories, so it'll have to be a DNF for me.
