Though not the most unique book (this book reminds me a lot of Holding Space: Life and Love Through a Queer Lens by Ryan Pfluger), it holds intimate first person accounts of the queer experience that I really appreciate. I especially enjoy the portraits that the couples took of one another--a unique insight into each individual's perspective that goes beyond words.

Absolutely loved this book! It’s so heartwarming to be allowed access into these people’s lives and getting to hear their stories of love and triumph really made my whole day.

The photography was gorgeous! Felt so cozy and endearing. Really really enjoyed this and can’t wait to purchase a physical copy. I can already imagine how gorgeous it is in person.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!

Wow. I never knew how much I needed this book. This book is pure joy. I loved how each of the couples were in different fields of work. I never knew about some of them or what they had accomplished in their fields. It was eye opening to say the least. Each of the couples obviously have different stories and backgrounds but through all of the stories the couple’s love for each other shined through every word.

I especially loved the beautiful photography and the idea to have them photograph each other as well.

I really couldn’t recommend this book enough. It is filled with hope and love, and that’s something we all could benefit from. It’s especially impactful for the LGBTQ+ community who doesn’t often get to see these stories portrayed in media.

I read this book in a day, unable to keep down the smile on my face. The book is what it says on the tin - a celebration of queer power couples, put together by two women (spouses) as a writer and a photographer duo, and if that concept fills you with joy, then the book definitely will. I enjoyed it so much. It's thoughtfully put together, balancing asking the same questions to different respondents for thematic consistency and giving the couples room to be comfortable in their own space. The photography was wonderful and warm-hearted: I absolutely loved the idea of including pictures the interviewed couples took of one another. I didn't know many of the people the authors interviewed (ND Stevenson and Molly Knox Ostertag is probably the only one I had good visibility of), but each story was so heart-warming to read about. As if each of this story left me in a more uplifted, optimistic space than it found me.

A whole-hearted recommendation to all of the queer community on this one. Do yourself a favour and get this book as a pick-me-up.
