This was a cool collection of stories (almost like parables?) by some great authors. I loved switching between authors and characters through out the different stories. The authors all did a great job of bringing the characters to life in such a short time, and they had such good everyday life wisdom weaved in all the stories.

Reading a Maeve Binchy book is so comforting. Like outside a cafe drinking strong coffee people-watching. This collection of stories is packed with insightful glimpses into people, women particularly and what makes them tick. There is often a thread running through the stories about wisdom and folly. Sometimes the stories got a little repetitive, but a sweet read.

It doesn't bother me most of the time. It depends on who the audience is and if it's treated respectfully. BUT on the other hand, I do get frustrated when major publishers and movie studios decide to pick up books written by straight white women in their forties instead of equally good books written by queer authors. Like you said, it's complex.

Exactly. You see, some books, like Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, are written by straight allies. Because it's good representation, and because the author is a valid ally, it's great! It doesn't bother me. But other books (I can't think of examples right now) aren't good rep, and even if the author is a valid ally, it doesn't work that way. If the book was good rep but the author wasn't a valid ally, I'd be a bit conflicted over the book, but again, I read (and loved) Harry Potter, which is quite possibly the queerest series out there.
