Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States by Samantha Allen

funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

This book is truly a work of art. (I listened to the audiobook on Libby.) The blend of personal reflection and growth with a broader narrative of deep-rooted queerness in the US is seamless and moving. I loved so much listening to Allen tell me about her adventures and interviews, and as someone who feels so disheartened every day about what queer people have to go through in America, this book gave me a much needed perspective of resilience, beauty, hope, and belonging. Would recommend this a million times over.
