Brontez Purnell’s unique voice shines through in this collection of queer short stories and vignettes. The characters that we follow are mostly queer men who make bad decisions and have lots of sex with lots of partners. This collection is an interesting mixture of dark and light. Most of the stories are enjoyable, although a few of them don’t necessarily come to any conclusions. I’m going to have to read more of Purnell’s work because this collection was thoroughly engaging.
