Tries to pack a lot into too few pages, which means a lot of shorthand and infographic dumps.

I expected to learn something about how Octavia Butler's work* relates to all of this, and I would have been very interested in that, but it's just too short! (Did I miss it somehow?)

I haven't read that one yet, but I did read another from the Patternmaster series, and the horror level is pretty much in line with all her other work. ( )

Sort of an unexpected little book -- but I like how much it leaves the reader to think about and chew on and go look for more information about. And I love hearing from someone who came to queerness later in life -- the journey is different for everyone, and how lovely to hear this voice. ( )

This book is quite short, comparable to an extended zine or graphic novella. However, the author shares a lot about her own experiences in higher education, learning about what it means to be queer, familial relationships, and how race placed a role in shaping her coming-of-age experience. A strong book to add to a library collection. ( )

A short and quick, but energetic and powerful declaration of identity and beliefs. I love having access to perspectives like this and hope to see more work by De La Cruz in the future that expands or dives more deeply into the topics introduced here. ( )
