This was an amazing collection of short stories about love. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book because I am not a huge fan of short stories, but I found myself wishing that each story was an entire novel.
Perfect as a summer read! I especially enjoyed Nicola Yoon’s work.
Most of the stories were just fine, nothing too memorable or too terrible. Some standouts were:
- The Dictionary of You and Me (I love the typical rom-com type movies)
- Click (nice twist, cute story)
- The Unlikely Likelihood Of Falling in Love (had me rooting for them to finally have their meet cute!)
- The Department of Dead Love (super interesting concept, made me really think about the types of love and how much people want to know why their breakup happened)
I would give all of those 4.5-5 stars, they were the exact type of stories I was looking for in a collection like this.

This book was SO CUTE!!!! I really loved most of the short stories. Especially Click, The Intern, The Dictionary of You and Me, The Unlikelihood of Falling In Love, and The Department of Dead Love. All those were so CUTE AND CREATIVE and I wish there was more to them! I usually don’t like short stories because I want more and those 5 are no exception. But I loved them so much and will definitely go back to experience them again!

I’m not sure how to rate this (or review it!). 3.5 stars, I think. My first anthology. Interesting and reminded me that I do still enjoy contemporary! Overall I liked most of the stories in here - Print Shop by Nina LaCour and The Unlikelihood of Falling in Love by Jocelyn Davies were probably my favourites - and I think there were maybe only one or two that I wasn't that keen on though they were by no means bad. This is an incredibly diverse collection with LGBTQ+ rep (including a transgender character) but we only have one story solely from a male POV (and no male authors). I didn't particularly feel the need to go out and read from an author I discovered through the book though it did reaffirm my dislike for one, which is unfortunate but that's just how it goes.

More like 4.5. I loved some stories while some others were just blah
