Lisa Eckstein’s Reviews > It Gets Even Better: Stories of Queer Possibility > Status Update

Even the stories in this collection that are less to my taste in style or subject matter still often hit me in the feels!

Great mix of story styles. "Midnight Confetti" by D.K. Marlowe is another standout: delicious-to-read sentences crafting a reluctant love story with a light touch of magic.

Really impressed by the strength of this anthology!

"The Invisible Bisexual" by S.L. Huang takes the phrase literally, in a way that complicates the main character's love life.

"Frequently Asked Questions About the Portals at Frank's Late-Night Starlite Drive-In" by Kristen Koopman is as weird and fun as that title suggests, with a really sweet story of a character coming into herself.

"The Ghosts of Liberty Street" by Phoebe Barton starts this anthology off strong and thematic with a beautiful story that's all about possibilities.

I love the robot narrator of Amy Griswold's "Custom Options Available", who is on a carefully considered quest to explore sexuality, identity, and the parameters of a free life.
