Balancing Acts by A.J. Sass
Review:
I received an eARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. I read this book in chunks to make sure that I was able to fully take in the stories in this book.
There are 16 stories in this book that range in genre and identity. Fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, gay, lesbian, transgender. I love it so much. I couldn't have even dreamt of a book like this when I was younger, and I could cry thinking about what this book might mean to kids growing up.
I don't think there was a single story in this book that I didn't love. I did have a couple of favorites though. I absolutely adored A.J. Sass's story, Mark Oshiro's story was amazing, and I fell in love with Shing Yin Khor's graphic novel story.
I am struggling to find the words to review this book with, especially since I want to avoid any spoilers so that everyone can come in fresh with this book. So, a spoiler-ish free review: some of these stories were sad or had sad moments but for the most part I thought that this book was full of love and acceptance and joy. Not all of them, but I would say most of them.
I thought this book and these stories were absolutely amazing and I plan to reread this whenever I'm in the mood for a good story. I feel a bit bad about how short this review is, but I really want to avoid spoiling any of these stories. They were all so amazing and beautiful in their own ways that I don't want to accidentally give anything away.
