Wow. Que increíble y al mismo tiempo triste cuento final. Me encantó que la autora metió referencias a sus otras obras y a lo que estaba pasando en el mismo cuento. Espero en verdad estos personajes si formen parte de un nuevo libro y no solo se queden ahí.

En general el libro me pareció entretenido. Hay algunos cuentos que se sienten más flojos que otros o incluso repetitivos, pero en general todos tienen lo suyo.

Amé el cuento de Simon y Baz, muy tierno. Creo que después de este, mi favorito fue el último y el de la chica que escucha música y su vecino de abajo no está muy contento con ello

(i only read one of the short stories-snow for christmas

hurricaner's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 10%

I didn’t like this as much as I liked other books by her. I wasn’t a fan of the disconnected collection of stories. 
emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

A perfect bunch of stories about falling in love. I would read each of them if they were full length novels! Which some of them are and that’s a very cool thing about the Rainbow Rowell literary universe. The stories are sweet and tender and funny. Exactly perfect for a slow afternoon or just a quick read between appointments/chores.

Honestly, I didn't really care much for this one. I think only one or two of the stories really stood out to me (Kindred Spirits) but I could leave the rest. The one with the troll was just...weird. Like it had potential, but the ending was just lacking.

I love Rainbow Rowell books & I didn't even read the summary before starting scattered showers. It wasn't until the 4th short story that I started to get really curious how & when in the world is she going to tie all these little love stories together in the end - til I found out they are ALL separate stories!!!
