I decided a fun short story love collection would be good for Valentine's week. Why did I pick this one and not the one that I am actually currently reading? Whoooooo knows.
I overall enjoyed this collection, which isn't something I can say about most. There was diversity in the sense of socio-economical, ethnicity, and the use of paranormal aspects. There's only one LGBTQ+ story as well.
Favorites: Rowell, Carter, Forman
Original Short reviews of each story:
Rainbow Rowell - Loved
Kelly Link - meh
Matt De La Pena- Ah snowy Brooklyn. I rather enjoyed this one.
Jenny Han - meeeeeh
Stephanie Perkins - Rather enjoyed
Holly Black - I'd read more about this story...
Gayle Forman - Love any story that makes me feel related to as an outsider.
Myra McEntire - meeeeeeeeh
Kiersten White - it was okay, definitely liked the ending, but a little bored.
Ally Carter - I love Ally Carter, and have been Jones-ing for more of her work. This story made me tear up and I loved it so much."
Laini Taylor - such an extreme "meh."
