Coming Together: Girl on Girl was not my first lesbian themed anthology I've picked up.  The two others I set down after a couple of stories and returned the book to the library or my bookshelf.  However, this anthology was so good I can honestly say I didn't dislike one story in this collection.  Every story and every author shined with their ability to write a small, yet interesting story.  Each short story was different than the last and the variety was a refreshing change of pace for me. There is literally a little piece of every genre or flavor in this collection.While I enjoyed every story, there were a select few that stood out to me.  I was happy to read new stories by some authors I've already read and enjoyed: Harper Bliss, Scarlet Chastain, and Beth Wylde.  I also discovered some new authors that I'd be interested in reading more of their work.One story that really stood out to me was Same But Different by Kate Atwood.  The author is an amazing wordsmith and the symbolism in this story was breathtaking.  Two women share their passions with a horrific, natural disaster on the news in the background. A story with an intense mix of beauty and ugly.Another story that stood out to me was Sundae, Bloody Sundae by Lisabet Sarai.  This story captured the D/S relationship between two women, one of whom has an eating disorder.  Personally, I found the way the author presented the character with an eating disorder distasteful but this story did arouse a question many probably haven't thought of:  How does an eating disorder affect a dominant/submissive relationship?  I thought this was a question worth pondering and would bring up an excellent debate.I mentally cheered when I came across Worth the Wait by Beth Wylde because I have been waiting very impatiently to read a good story between a butch and femme.  There is something so classic and romantic with the butch/femme dynamic yet it seems these love stories are hard to find.  Since this story was so short I am still actively looking for an amazing love story between a butch and femme character.Also included in this anthology is a ghost love story, a princess and her princess,  a steamy interracial rendezvous, and a college girl's first time. I'd highly recommend this anthology- it will not disappoint!  Plus all sales go to a good cause- have I convinced you yet?!
