Favorites: - “The Treasure Map to My Heart” by Oliver Gerlach - “Theater Kids” by Dave Ebersole - “Act of Grace” by Anthony Oliveira I can't really call this anthology a big win for me, as these are the only three I really enjoyed in a book of around 12-15 stories if I remember correctly. This was fun, especially if you want some weird twists in your romance, but with each story only between 4-7ish pages, it was a little difficult for me to get acclimated to the weirder ones.

My favorites to short, my least favorites too long, this collection was a little all over the place, but all I can hope is that I'll find some more stories from the creators of the stories I did enjoy.

This collection of short comics is so wholesome! I'm impressed with not only how much characterization the authors and illustrators were able to get across in only 5-6 pages of comic, but also how much they were able to communicate in terms of plot and messaging. The dialogue was spot on, I fell in love with so many of the characters, and truly my only complaint is I want more of so many of these stories!

3.5 rounded up to 4 because it’s adorable. Delightful graphic novel collection of MLM romances, mostly (although not entirely) in the sci-fi/fantasy/magical realism genres. Each story is less than 10 pages and there are as many art and story styles as you can imagine. If something isn’t for you, there’s something else right around the corner. One of my favorite stories is a ghost romance that represent a lifetime relationship over the course of a single conversation, with the living character grow 3.5 rounded up to 4 because it’s adorable.

It reminded me of Synecdoche, New York.

Fantastic. Great artwork throughout and amazing storytelling! I thoroughly enjoyed every story; even my cold dead heart started beating while I was reading this collection. There some truly awesome stories in this anthology- my favourites: Another Name, Act of Grace, The Way Home, Love Yourself, and Dancing on the Wind. (My only criticism is that the standard is so high all the way through the book, that one or two of the slightly weaker stories (but still really good) stand out). 100% would recomme Fantastic.

Super cute and sweet. This anthology is definitely in the vein of old school romance comics, just that all feature m/m couples. My favorites are: "The Treasure Map to my Heart" by Oliver Gerlach and Daryl Toh "Theater Kids" by Dave Ebersole, Robert Ryan, and Vincent Batignole "Act of Grace" by Anthony Oliviera and Nick Robles "The Way Home" by Paul Allor and Lane Lloyd "Thingaversary" by Sina Grace "Love Yourself" by Joe Glass and Auguste Kanakis Super cute and sweet.

Super cute, fun read, full of diversity. It's probably a good sign when you want literally all of the stories to be longer. Super cute, fun read, full of diversity. It's probably a good sign when you want literally all of the stories to be longer.

Each piece in this collection of graphic stories warmed my heart in different ways. If you want stories of pure, queer love, I cannot recommend this book enough.
