OMG!

The way this was written was amazing I loved the way both stories had two different backgrounds one being a pair that had been friends for years and one being friends that had just met off the street but didn’t know each other in school.

I’m amazed at the way this was written and the illustrations were perfect it made a difference when reading just a normal book with words as you could really picture what was happening at each stage

I love Rainbow Rowell. There's no doubt about it. And this book was everything I could ever ask for. I've only read Fangirl, Carry on and Eleanor & Park by her, but I can definitely say I'm going to read more.

This book is just two short stories that I've enjoyed so much. I want to write about them separately but the thing I want to say about both of them is that I loved the illustrations.

Midnights - 4 stars
I've read this short story in one collection of short stories I own years ago - and I was surprised by how little I remembered. I basically forgot the whole plot, except for the fact that it's told always around midnight with more than just a one year. And I loved Mags and Noel. I could see Mags being desperately in love with Noel since the beginning - and, let's be honest, who wouldn't? It just makes me want to know more about them than just how they act on New Years.

Kindred Spirits - 4 stars
As a Star Wars fan myself, I loved it. I'm still not sure if I actually liked that there wasn't hinted if Elena and Gabe ended up together or they remained friends but maybe it was a good thing. And just a whole short story about a thing I love - Star Wars movies - was amazing and I didn't even know I needed it. And Gabe was a sweetheart just as Noel.
