Written from a much-needed queer perspective that invites in readers of all genders and orientations, the book features chapters that each present a different question about relationships. . . . At times hilarious and at others just embarrassingly accurate, the book feels like a warm hug. The unshaded, candy-colored, geometric illustrations are simple, yet they still manage to celebrate diversity and inclusion. Refreshing, funny, and comforting.
