This collection of short stories was a delight to read. There was a wide range of characters and types of stories. All the short stories center around the story happening in the span of a night. There are stories of romance, adventure, paranormal activities, and schemes. My favorite part of these stories is how much even one night can have on the rest of your life. Thank you, NetGalley for a copy of an eARc in exchange for an honest review.

Have you ever wanted to pull an all-nighter or wondered what hijinks can go on at night? The fabulous young adult authors of Up All Night: 13 Stories Between Sunset and Sunrise (edited by Laura Silverman) delve into the possibilities of the night. Set to be released on July 13th, this anthology is sure to suvk any reader into the mysteries of the night.
If you’re looking for quick little stories to add to your Summer TBR then this is the book for you!! These YA short stories are sure to hook you in from the beginning and will make you want to see just what kind of shenanigans you can take part in while pulling an all-nighter! I think my favorite story might have been either “Never Have I Ever” by Karen M. McManus or “Old Rifts and Snow Drifts” by Kayla Whaley, but all of the stories are varying degrees of amazing! On top of all of that, these stories are chock full of diverse characters and narrators!
Here’s my individual ratings of each story:
“Never Have I Ever” by Karen M. McManus- 5 stars
“Like Before” by Maurene Goo- 4 stars

Overall, I thought this collection of young adult short stories with the characters staying up all night was great. Some were heterosexual romances, some (only a few though) explored friendship, and a few explored gay romance.
Like any collection, I found that I gravitated toward some more than others. I do like dipping into the paranormal and haven't read a paranormal story/novel in a while, so I liked the two that bent that way. And I enjoyed the young college women who had let their friendship lapse and reconnected at their college dance marathon.
I wasn't a fan of the superhero story, but that's not really my genre anyway.
