I liked almost all of the stories, sometimes too much—getting into the characters and plot and then it ended, leaving me wanting more. Found a few new authors to follow, though!
There were definitely stories that I loved, liked, meh and didn't really like, but overall it's such a cute concept that I can't help but love it, even with some stories I didn't like. It made me feel giddy, and I especially loved a lot of them! Can't wait for the rest of the world to read this and feel all the feels as well. ;)

Initial thoughts: As with most anthologies, there were some stories that I really enjoyed and some I didn’t care all too much for. My favourites were Print Shop by Nina LaCour and Oomph by Emery Lord. What I did appreciate about Meet Cute was the good range of diversity across the characters.

Thank you for making this book so sapphic.
Ladies, if you were wondering, it’s surprisingly gay. There was one story that was bi as hell and it gave me LIFE.

The extra star is for the Department of Dead Love (which would have gotten 5 stars)
3.5 stars. There were a few stories in here I LOVED but
I found most of them to be so sweet but very predictable. Ultimately, “Meet Cute” was a feel good read. I loved the idea of compiling short stories about young love into one book and I’m glad I read them!
