"Sumptuous language,plentiful historical detail,and satisfying endings....Readers searching for positive,nuanced,and authentic queer representation-or just a darn good selection of stories-need look no further than this superb collection." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"LGBTQIA story collections are scarce,but even if they weren't,this one would be essential." -Booklist"The diversity is refreshing... well written...Give to those teens who don't read full novels but still long for LGBTQ representation. A strong choice for most collections." -School Library Journal"Historical fiction has not been very common in queer YA,and All Out is here to change that. Queer people have so often been erased from history that it can feel as if we have no roots. All Out imagines the lives of queer teens throughout different time periods,often playing with genre (retellings,fairy tales,magical realism,fantasy) as well. Not only does this imagine queer histories,it imagines happy ones! It also features a range of identities,including trans,gay,lesbian,asexual,and aromantic characters." - Vulture
