I really enjoyed almost midnight and I really connected with the characters!
Kindred spirits was also very cute!

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.

I'm just gonna start off by saying this book is gorgeous! I was so happy when I received it because It looks so damn amazing. I live Rainbow Rowell and there is a cosy familiarity about her writing which makes me feel happy. This book was no exception to that Feeling both short stories were cute and I loved the illustrations. If you're looking for something to cheer you up that's quick and easy to read this is definitely the book you should pick up. 💕

These were very adorable, especially Kindred Spirits. My only complaint is in wish it was longer and we get to see what happens after. But, alas, that's the thing about short stories. I genuinely did enjoy it though.

A friend introduced me to Rainbow Rowell, and yup, already obsessed. Loved the illustrations, loved the stories… perfect book to read after celebrating the New Year.
