When I purchased this book I had no idea that it contained 3 short, but sweet stories...It didn't get many rave reviews, but I found it worthwhile.

These stories didn't always make sense, but they were fun.
The plots had some fairly large holes and curiously unresolved plot points, but again, it was a fun read.

I honestly didn't expect to like this book. When I started reading the first of the three stories inside and saw it was in 2nd person I cringed. But I loved it. I loved all three stories in their different persons even if they were fairly predictable. I still love the idea of multiple writers writing stories that feature the same place. Such an interesting idea. Loved it. Pure chick-lit, but worth the read.

This was an interesting book. I did not realize when I bought it that it was three individual stories. I enjoyed the first one and the last one the most. I loved the ending of the last one! These books are love stories. I would read this book just to read the last one again, it was that good! You do not have to read them in any order. The only thing they have in common is the diner, Sundae. Which I really wished existed, I would love to visit it.

This book was ok. I'm not much of a fan of short stories.

3 romantic short stories based in and near a diner called Sundaes.
Short and sweet. It's an easy and enjoyable quick read.

Not a light hearted read like the cover of the book implied. Two of the short stories were rather dull and really lacked that romantic spark.

A lesson in not judging a book by its cover. Two and a half stars. Not really romantic, or fluffy like the cover would suggest.

Do not find this topic at all interesting, so I am not wasting my time reading it.
