This anthology was published in 2019. The gal-dem platform closed in March of this year, so it is great that this set of writing was captured as a book. The stories resonate with one another and each is also completely it's own. I would love to know what teenage readers make of these letters to younger selves and what they imagine they would value hearing from their older selves.
