Serendipity: Ten Romantic Tropes, Transformed by Marissa Meyer

4.0

The best book I could have chosen to read during the hectic holidays and me coming down with someone has to be Serendipity. Full of all things joy and happiness that will surely boost your serotonin levels right up!

For me, it’s hard to rate and review a collection of short stories, especially fairly but I completely enjoyed every story packed into this book. There are tropes featured that are definitely fan favorites but also a few you might never have thought of and could quickly become a fan of!

Every story was written so well and thoroughly, not a single one left me wanting for me. Like seriously, for how short the stories are, I really thought there was no way I would be satisfied by the end but I really was! They also had a way of making me chuckle and really think while reading them that I was shocked by the end!

Something else I’m excited to point out was how diverse every story was. There were a few different ethnicities, there were LGBTQ stories, straight stories, stories about finding a friendship instead and just so much love to go around that I really do feel all warm inside!

This book was like a big hug and something I really wasn’t expecting, so I’m hoping you give it a chance and really find something you love in it!

Also, I thought I’d point out my favorite story of the bunch, In a Blink of the Eye by Elizabeth Eulberg. So so cute, I loved all of the London talk, and it genuinely made me laugh!
