Fourteen narrators give superb performances in this collection of coming-out stories. Their range of accents, tones, inflections, and styles brings the stories to life. Some works are funny and some heartbreaking, but all are honest, open, and full of heart. Though Maggar mentions in her introduction that the stories are from all over the world, the audiobook's settings are limited. The people featured are of diverse races, ages, genders, cultures, and religions, but they're almost all based in the US and UK, with just a few exceptions. The lively narrations are a highlight. Whether they're sharing stories of middle-aged trans women or 20-something lesbians, the voice actors are all genuine. It's like listening to a friend share their own coming-out tale.
