I liked the fact that was a collection of short stories and I didn't have to read it all in one sitting. However, it seems like a wonderful concept to have a collection of how characters met but it really is not a great concept for the reader. We are left wanting to know more, wondering if the relationships worked out. I think this would have worked better if they were each introduction chapters of different books, that way the reader would have a choice to go and read the full story if they pleased.
why did the editor miss a chance to include at least one story about boys falling in love??? some cute stories here, and some lgbtq love stories, but only about female characters. sigh.
I had heard so many good things about this book and I was really excited when I found it via my library. The diverse characters were a plus, especially in love stories, so I was very happy to see that.
That being sad, most of these stories did nothing for me, some I actively disliked - after reading he first I was nearly ready to give up, to be honest.
I understand, that Meet Cute is just a term and that the meet doesn't necessarily have to be cute, but if you see a book like that, you do expect at least some cuteness. But sadly, most of the stories weren't cute, some were sad or frustrating, dealing less with the Meet Cute and more with trauma and terrible friends. Which is not necessarily bad, but definitely not what I expected from this book.
There were some lovely stories in here though, Click is adorable, as is Oomph, and I am glad I got to read those. Others I thought had potential if they would have focused more on the actual people meeting.
But then again I am not that into YA anymore, so that may be skewing my rating.

Read this book on and off during the month, some were super cute, others I just found boring. I think my favorites were Oomph by Emery Lord, The Unlikely Likelihood of Falling in Love by Jocelyn Davies, and The Department of Dead Love by Nicola Yoon.
I have mixed feelings about this. I should state that I am not a short story fan but I believe I heard it recommended on the Professional Book Nerds podcast. this is a YA anthology with a mix of very cute stories and some meh stories I could have done without. There were a lot of stories with dead relatives just so you know. My faves were Print Shop, Oomph, and 259 Million Miles.
Department of Dead Love was my absolute favorite. A cute light read; made me feel good.

It was cute. There were such adorable stories. I think I really appreciated it more than I thought I would.
I can't exactly give a rating as such because some stories hit differently than the others to me. So, I'm settling for an average of four.

I can't review it as a whole because I didn't make it past Story number three.
Maybe I'm not into the right mindset, maybe I'm not into meet cutes anymore.
In any case, I don't think this is the right book for me at the moment.
It was quite cheesy, too, and the whole slice of life but not getting an ending is too much for my OCD.
