Would it be bad to say I read this primarily for Simon and Baz?

It's true though.

Some of these short stories are rereads from Almost Midnight. All are very cute, very much Rainbow Rowell.
Honestly though my favourite was Snow for Christmas, I am not sorry to admit this. The Simon Snow trilogies is one of my favourite, so I may be biased, but I thought it was perfect (5 stars) I believe some of the other short stories included characters from other books as well, but I'm not sure. I haven't read much else from Rainbow!

The other short stories are all good too! Quick read. Good if you're having trouble reading a full book! (like me)

I love a lot of Rowell's work but I feel as if she leans too much into the best friends to lover trope in this collection. Loved Snow For Christmas though, I don't think any of her characters compare to those in Simon Snows World

skimmed through most of the stories after the first three. only fully read the last two.
I like these simple li'l love stories, and most of these were pretty good! might re-read and write better more comprehensive thoughts, but if I'm being honest, I don't really feel like it lol.

The final story in this collection was incredible and I want to read a whole book with the same premise!

This was cute, I think my favorite part was honestly getting to see Baz and Simon developing more in their relationship. Some of the short stories felt like they ended with open endings that will never be answered and that bothered me a bit. To each his own
