(2.5 but closer to a 2 than a 3)
There’s a couple of stories I quite enjoyed a lot but they weren’t enough to make up for the ones I VERY much did not and the overall general underwhelming feeling I got from this anthology.

Holly Black's story wasn't bad. The others I mostly skimmed, unfortunately. Good short fiction is hard to write, especially for novelists, and it really shows here.

Some of the stories were definitely better than others but overall I enjoyed reading this book. I liked seeing how each author had a unique voice.

There is a limit to eccentricity, and once it is passed, eccentricity is renamed to "crap."

I was very unimpressed by this book. Initially when I saw the concept for the book, I was excited to read it because I thought it'd be similar to Let it Snow. I am a big fan of collab books that have multiple authors, but after reading this book I believe that maybe 21 authors is too many. I like Let it Snow because all of the stories connected. I was hoping that this book would do the same. I ended up only like a select few stories from this book (Your Big Night, Three Fates, The Question: A Play in One Act, and The Great American Morp). I honestly got quite bored with the book after the first couple of stories and I practically had to force myself to finish the book. I also skipped quite a few stories and only read the last one because I am a huge fan of John Green. Overall, I was tremendously disappointed with this book.

Skipped the John Green story. I wish there had been at least one story with a lesbian couple.
