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.

Something like 85% of these stories could be fleshed out into full novels. Very sweet read.

This was an amazing collection of short stories about love. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book because I am not a huge fan of short stories, but I found myself wishing that each story was an entire novel.

Super cute collection of diverse stories that made my hopeless romantic, daydreamer side really happy.
