'Kindred: 12 Queer #LoveOzYA Stories, edited by Michael Earp, is a landmark collection of Young Adult (henceforth YA) short stories from established and emerging authors in Australia. The quote above from Benjamin Law reflects the shared and diverse experiences and voices from the LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, plus) community offered in the stories of this collection that unites these authors, this community and these stories beyond markers of identity. Sexuality and gender are the overarching link of these stories but, as the title suggests, kindred is the real theme as connections form and fracture between characters, whether they be romantic, sexual, familiar, friendship or platonic.'
