Edges
by Ashley Herring Blake
Fools in Love, ed. Ashley Herring Blake & Rebecca Podos (Running Press Teens, 2021)
A YA short story focussing less on queerness as an identity issue, more on the precariousness of teen romance, and how relationships can be brought undone (self-sabotaged) by faulty preconceptions and negative self-image. As ever, Blake affords her protagonist a cogent backstory.
