It took me over a decade to be able to get into this book, but I kept trying. So worth it. Intricate in politics, ecology, religion, characters and what a future might hold.

Just as cozy as Legends and Lattes, and a really enjoyable prequel. I love spending time in the world that Baldree has created, and with the characters that populate it.

This book found me as I was walking through the library wondering what to read next. Reading this felt like talking to a friend I wish I had growing up. It is written in an advice column style, but the advice is not very direct. Instead the reader is invited to interpret their own advice via personal anecdotes of the author. The stories are so specific to the authors life and at the same time relatable. I learned a lot about myself and felt less alone reading this piece, and of course I immediately went to check out the rest of the work by this author. I recommend it to all, specially queer and BIPOC people out there that are consistently questioning identity and labels.

I've loved all of Walker's work that I've already read. This essay collection is no different. She is regal yet relatable, literary yet accessible. She balances emotion with history, admiration with critique, beautifully.
-Caitlin K.
