somewhere that’s green by meredith russo: 1.5/5. dont like the “closeted homophobe” trope. and i think its messed up that lucian would be friends with lexie. i would never be friends with someone who went on the news and said my best friend didnt deserve human rights

Ok, as usual I'm just adding individual mini-notes for each story. This book is super gorgeous and you should all read it because it's the sweetest thing EVER!

SIEGE ETIQUETTE - Katie Cotugno
Super short. Left me with all the questions and none of the answers. Very cute still. 4/5 stars.

PRINT SHOP - Nina Lacour
Divine. I really and truly want to read a full lenght story on this. 5/5 stars

HOURGLASS - Ibi Zoboi
The main character is a tall, plus sized girl. And she stands for herself, and doesn't take crap from anyone. I love her. 4/5 stars

CLICK - Katharine McGee
I love this. An app that helps you meet a person compatible with you, a sort of technological tinder. I could honestly use this app. The story was so sweet, the characters so appeling. 5/5 stars.

THE INTERN - Sara Shepard
Cute. Sad. Moving. The most beautiful ending. 5/5 stars.

SOMEWHERE THAT'S GREEN - Meredith Russo
This was very relevant. Really, an important message, a nice cause. But it lacked something. I don't even know what it is but something is lacking. 3/5

THE WAY WE LOVE HERE - Dhonielle Clayton
Why was this so good? A true love and soulmates of a sort and everyone gets a special mark that their special other get AU. This was like a tumblr prompt and I love it. 5/5 stars.

OOMPH - Emery Lord
This was extremely cute. I didn't write any other note. Just that one and it's enough. 5/5 stars.

THE DICTIONARY OF YOU AND ME - Jennifer L. Armentrout
Favorite story. I loved it so much. It was truly like a Hallmark movie of a sort and I adore Hallmark movies. Dare I say it? It was sazzy. 5/5 stars.

THE UNLIKELY LIKELIHOOD OF FALLING IN LOVE - Jocelyn Davies
This story is my second best favorite. It was really cute and I can totally understand the way this girl felt. I understand her. 5/5 stars.

259 MILES - Kass Morgan
Tragic love isn't my thing. It was a cute concept but if I'm being honest I feel like I was set up for this huge true love and betrayed at the end. That ending was very lacking, I'm sorry to say it but it just doesn't work for me. 3/5 stars.

SOMETHING REAL - Julie Murphy
Cute. But if I'm being honest as a major fangirl for my own story I felt a but sad about this story. 4/5 stars.

SAY EVERYTHING - Huntley Fitzpatrick
This was a really fresh concept. A bittersweet story. I really liked it. 4/5 stars.

THE DEPARTMENT OF DEAD LOVE - Nicola Yoon
Is Everything, Everything really the one and only book from Nicola Yoon that I don't like?
This was hearbreaking and beautiful. Sweet and bitter. It was truly beautiful and perfect. 5/5 stars.

Overall score: 4.4 stars.

There was definitely a couple really adorable meet cute's in this anthology. But of the however many super quick stories written here, many more of them were not at all what I'd imagined when I started the book. Perhaps it was that so many of them ended far too soon (which, I know, is the point of the book), so I never really got the chance to actually care about most of the characters. I don't know, I just never clicked with a lot of them, so I found myself skimming through really fast.

However, I can say that two or three of the stories left me hanging enough to wish I could read a full length story about those two characters, so it wasn't a complete wash! I grinned over the cute a few times and remember thinking a couple of the stories were fairly quirky fun. So overall, I'd suggest reading this if you LOVE one of the authors therein.
