A warm, funny, sincere collection of interconnected short stories that reimagine Love, Actually with a more diverse collection of characters and love stories. I did enjoy some of the novellas more than others--Love in Spanglish by Zoey Castile and Meet Me Under the Mistletoe by Priscilla Oliveras were particular highlights--but that's par for the course with romance anthologies and I'd definitely still recommend this. It's a perfect holiday read to dip in and out of and the stories all feel coherent but with distinctive voices. Sometimes I can just tell when authors had a lot of fun working on a project and this one exudes fun.
