3.5/5*

Kniha Spolu a každý zvlášť přinesla devět Young Adult příběhů z období lockdownu. Společně s hlavními hrdiny se potýkáme se všemi ošemetnými i obtížnými situacemi, které s sebou pandemie přinesla, zároveň je ale každá povídka zakončena s nadějí na lepší zítřky. Četlo se to úplně samo. Jak už to u podobných sbírek bývá, některé povídky se mi líbily více, některé méně. Celkově hodnotím knihu ale pozitivně. Bylo to milé a laskavé čtení, které mi zlepšilo náladu a vykouzlilo úsměv na tváři. Každý si v knize přijde na své. Za sebe bych rozhodně vypíchla povídku Jednou, Doručeno s láskou a Zahradnická sázka.

Together, Apart is a YA compilation of romantic short stories that all take place during quarantine/COVID-19 pandemic. If anything, these stories include the details of day to day life that teens and families are currently experiencing. There are some meet-cutes but with COVID concerns and anxiety as a part of the stories. The stories include lots of masks, social distancing, following ordinances such as no dine-in at a restaurant, Zoom classes, getting groceries and meals delivered, concerns about parents who are at risk due to their work, all the things that are genuine concerns in 2020. These stories bring to light that many young people are experiencing anxiety, loneliness from not being able to see their friends, and stress from online school. Of course, they’re all (clean) romance stories so there is always hope at the end of each story, which is something we all need right now.
