Poignant, honest and fanciful
These stories were beautiful. July has a way of writing about adult topics with a five-year-old's blunt expression. But unlike the way children can't process their experience, July has a way of using an innocent filter to express things that are not all that innocent.
The stories were crisp and original. They crackled with every emotional facet touched.
July uses themes of homosexuality, childlike playfulness, loneliness and longing for connection in this conflux of tales.
