Meet Me at the Intersection is an anthology of Australian authors from marginalised backgrounds. I really liked this collection. I was impressed with the editing, the flow of the stories was perfect and really highlighted the themes. I also genuinely liked every single story. One thing that struck me was the breadth of different voices and the diversity of Australian's which we don't often see represented in mainstream media. 

My top 3 stories were: Telephone, Fragments and The Last Stop, though were was many I really liked

I don't usually rate collections but I decided to for this one because I genuinely liked each story so much, so I gave it 5 stars. There are a lot of authors in here who I would like to read more works from.

A fantastic anthology of own voice shorts in a variety of genres. I loved how the authors weren't stuffed into a single definition and each piece of work was prefaced with a short description of the individual's background, experiences and intentions. This is a beautiful way to show the diversity of our country. Unfortunately it isn't appropriate for children under the age of 14 due to the odd swear word and mentions of sex.
