I didn't like it. Honestly, I thought the stories would just be about love being rough but okay in the end. They're not. None of them have happy endings, at least, the ones I read. I couldn't even get myself to finish it. But if you're one of those people who don't like there always being a happy ending, go for it.

Of the 5 five stries, Justine was the best. Her husband, Scott Westerfeld, wrote the one with the second more interesting setting, although Gabrielle Zevin's "Fan Fic" is better.
I'll definitely look into more wrks from Justine and Zevin. The first and the last stories were the weakest ones, too sweet for my taste, and made me think that the book's title was somewhat misleading.

This was a pretty good anthology of short stories. They were all fantasy, but not overly 'supernatural' or 'paranormal'.
My two favourites were Justine Larbalestier's 'Thinner Than Water' and Melissa Marr's 'Love Struck' and they were both fey oriented, which was so refreshing to see in todays seemingly vampire-and-other-supernatural/paranormal-being dominated market.
Scott Westerfeld's 'Stupid Perfect World' was set in a very similar world to his Uglies series (I don't *think* it was the same one, but it could have been, they were that similar!) and was interesting.
Laurie Faria Stolarz's 'Sleeping with the Spirit' and Gabrielle Zevin's 'Fan Fictions' were more on the paranormal spectrum, but I thought both were well done. The concept for 'Fan Fictions' and the style it was written in were especially intriguing.
I debated giving the anthology 4 stars, but since it's really only Larbalestier and Marr's stories that I felt warranted 4 stars, I thought 3 stars was a better overall score.

Scott Westerfeld's story was AMAZING. The others were hit-and-miss.
