![]() ![]() ![]() “Walking After Midnight” by Kody Keplinger, set in upstate New York in 1952, depicts a single night in a small town where a former child movie star, now a young woman who can’t get movie roles, meets a resident of the town who is instantly star-struck. In addition, most of these stories are romances and end either happily or, in one occasion, on a cliffhanger.Īll of them are pretty solid (some more than others), but a few stand out: Most of these stories deal with that by depicting the very beginning of a relationship and ending on that note – a first kiss, for example. In my experience, romance short stories are very difficult to pull off because there’s no time for a relationship to develop. Multiple ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds are represented and there are a couple of asexual stories in addition to the LGBT stories, which I was thrilled about since asexual relationships are so rarely explored in fiction. I enjoyed the variety of the stories and the variety of representation, although I was sorry to see no bisexual representation (if I missed it, let me know!). All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens throughout the Ages is a fun YA fictional anthology. ![]()
