A sweet little collection - as with all anthologies, some stories worked better for me than others, but overall I enjoyed it. And I really liked that there were a mix of narrators for the collection.

Favourite stories:
- Inertia by Veronica Roth
- A Thousand Ways this Could All Go Wrong by Jennifer E. Smith
- Head, Scales, Tongue, Tail by Leigh Bardugo
- In Ninety Minutes Turn North by Stephanie Perkins

Cutesy, definitely a good summer read. A couple of the stories really stood out, but for the most part they were just all right. It took me a really long time to get through because of that I think. I should have finished it much faster but I had a hard time reading a lot at once.

The Lev Grossman story was my favorite, funnily enough.

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Some stories fantastically encapsulate the feelings of finding and falling in love, yet others constitute a jolting style and proffer a simplistic, uninspiring take on love.
