Short story collection by a young writer on various topics; all revolving around family, coming of age and coming out in various ways. All good.

Fly far little book!

Welcome to Bookcrossing, where Books roam freely! I hope you enjoy the book, and leave a journal entry so I can see where the book ended up. You can remain anonymous if you'd like, or join and follow the book's travels throughout the world. The site is free, secure, and non-spamming. Take a look around, and then go read!

P.S. If the book is too good to read and release, that's okay, you can keep it, just let me know that it's found a good home!

I was unsuccessfully hunting for this on my BC shelf, and realized the JE I made 2 years ago must have not gone through. Sorry that this has been in internet limbo for so long!

I have read a few of the stories in this book, but have concluded that Levitt's writing style is not for me, so I won't be continuing to push through the rest. Hopefully the next reader will enjoy it more (and not be so spacey about the JE!)

Sent out as one of the starting books in the LGBTQ+ Bookbox

I've read this one before, so I'm leaving it in the box for someone else, but did want to add my comments.

This is a collection of short stories about families - all different types, in a variety of moods and situations. The first one, "Territory," was my favorite, and perhaps the least melancholy of the collection; some of the others are quite sad. Leavitt writes moody little stories of emotions (internal and otherwise) and relationships, quiet and thought-provoking... I preferred his collection A Place I've Never Been, but this one's quite good.

[Update, 8/22: lynmarenjensen reported claiming this from the bookbox.)

I'm submitting this book to San Pedro High School which is starting a library for GLBT students and allies.
