I am normally not a big fan of short story collections, but this one worked better for me because all of the stories are taking place during the same event and there are a lot of connections between the characters in each story. There was also one story that we would keep coming back to. I wished there were more characters that weren't high school students dealing with teenage romances, but then I remembered this is YA and that's the intended audience. There was only one story I didn't really care for, but otherwise I thought the writing was solid. I listened to this on audiobook and the narrators also did a great job, though I preferred some over others.
