3.5/5 but rounded down. I loved the queer love pandemic stories. However I with the endings of the stories went a little further. I feel like a few ended abruptly.

Kniha byla čtivá a jednotlivé povídky zajímavé a líbilo se mi že tam bylo zakomponované LGBTQ+. Příběhy mě ale občas nebavily protože to bylo vpodstatě furt a to samé klišé. A kvůli tomu strhávám body. Jinak mě to bavilo ale ve výsledku mi ty všechny příběhy splynuly do sebe a moc si to nepamatuju vše.

Thank you SO much Delacorte Press & Penguin Random House for sending me a free physical copy in exchange for an honest review!
This was so adorable! Not only is this perfect for everything going on right now, but its also super enjoyable! I loved all the different short love stories. It was such a quick read that I read within three hours!
Each story was different. All the relationships had amazing chemistry and it had me going "Awww" all the time!
I also loved the diversity. It had great representation with gay & lesbian couples! I loved it!
I highly recommend this if you're looking for a cute & quick read!

Each of the stories were so cute. Obviously some were better than others. I wish a few were made into complete stories.

the stories are cute and i love some of the tropes used, but sadly this anthology wasn’t for me. as with any anthology, individual ratings for each story vary, but it was most challenging for me to get past the way the pandemic was depicted in most of them. i think i would have enjoyed it much more if i read it for a bit of escapism when it first came out. now that we’ve been in a pandemic for so long and after all the devastation and grief of the past few years, i just couldn’t get over the dissonance between reality and these lighthearted stories written/set when we didn’t foresee still being in a pandemic two years later. so unfortunately that really prevented me from being able to fully enjoy the book. however, i’m sure others will be able to enjoy these stories more than i did! they’re sweet and fun overall, which could be good for anyone in search of some fluffy escapism.

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

Short stories. All meet-cutes during COVID-19. A bunch of adorable rom-coms that I didn’t want to end. Really great read!

Lock down love stories with varying degrees of charm, sweetness and smile inducing moments.
Love With A Side Of Fortune by Jennifer Yen (4✩), The Green Thumb War by Brittney Morris (4.25✩), & Masked by Erin Hahn (4.75✩) is my favorite, but kudos to the others too (3.75 ✩) !

Kinda hard to keep a rating because well…each story kinda got a rating.
The one I absolutely hated tho was “One Day”. It felt incredibly rapey-creepy and I couldn’t care less about the fact that he might have been handsome. Plus it just perpetuates the whole “c’moooon give him a chance what ya gotta lose?!” that basically translates into “oh do you said no? Well ‘no’ is not valid girls/women, you gotta say yes!” cause God forbid a girl/woman reject a guy or just sets boundaries right?
