Hello and happy Wednesday. This has been a long week and we’re halfway through, so I’ll have to exercise my patience for the days to come. A couple of days ago I finished reading the second edition of Queer Life, Queer Love, an anthology that has a pretty self-explanatory title. I’d like to thank the editors, NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

In a previous review I mentioned that I don’t consume anthologies as often as I do full-length novels, but I think this one had all the ingredients to make it a pleasant read for me. It includes many literary pieces from various genres and styles, and they also vary in length, which meant that the reading experience was not monotonous or dense at all.

I also appreciated the fact that after each piece we got a bio from each author. It made me connect more with what I was reading as well as the people who wrote it. I think this is the perfect book for people like me, who have consumed their fair share of queer literature and want something fresh and that does not reproduce the same tropes and stereotypes, but also for people who are just getting into queer literature because, like sexual orientations and gender identities, it is so diverse and rich.
