Really charming debut with many excellent stories written in breezy, slightly humid prose that captures a lot of the joys and sorrows and mundanities of community-building, especially amongst Southern queers 

I particularly enjoyed the circling entanglement around Rebecca's group of friends and her never resolved death. 

I was anticipating a bit more magical/speculative realism? The magic of the every day is good too, I suppose.
