Meet Cute by Meredith Russo, Dhonielle Clayton, Julie Murphy, Nicola Yoon, Ibi Zoboi, Katie Cotugno, Jocelyn Davies, Kass Morgan, Katharine McGee, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Nina LaCour, Emery Lord, Sara Shepard
3.0

I wanted to like this more than I actually did, although I think the fault lies more in my aging out of YA romances than the stories themselves. At 34, and almost certainly forever a children's services librarian on the lower end of the age range, it's probably about time, right? One story in particular wa maddening in it's shortness (Hourglass) and others just did not get me in the right heartspot (The Intern), but in all of them I appreciate the wide spectrum of loves represented. How different than what was available to me in my own teens, how important it is to have a selection of meet cutes for just about everyone on the love spectrum. Favorites: Say Everything, The Department of Dead Love, The Unlikely Likelihood of Falling in Love.
