I normally like these cute YA anthologies but only a couple of stories in this one were worth reading to me.

just what i wanted and needed. i found myself gravitatingg toward this book when i was sad and wanted a cute story and i was almost always satisfied (there are a few stories im mad at for the endings) but overall i really enjoyed it and it put me in such a good mood (:

okay here’s the thing: I would have loved this book a few years ago. Specifically when I was still a teenager who had no idea how love worked and still thought instalove was an okay trope. (spoiler alert: IT NEVER IS).
part of the reason this didn’t work out for me is because I couldn’t really relate to the characters all that well. also because it started off with katie cotugno and to say I’m not the biggest fan of her work is probably the understatement of the century. it all also started to get mind-numbingly repetitive after a while: MC meets love interest, shit happens and they get together. Only we’re not even granted the satisfaction of seeing them together. If this was a fanfic, it would be tagged Pre-Relationship. (Side note: why don’t real books come with tags so we can decide whether we want to read them or not?? If fan-created work can warn us about potential triggers, why can’t original work?)
Anyway. Going to find a Really Good Fic now to cleanse my soul.

These stories are adorable. My only problem (if you can call it a problem) is that I would have loved to know more about these characters.

Not sure, just didn't enjoy most of the stories. There were a few I did like, but mostly just forgettable stories. I liked the subway/statistics one the most!
