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
Props to whoever had the idea to make this anthology of short stories from some of the best YA authors out there about meet cutes. The mute cute is that quintessential factor we commonly see in most YA novels (or love stories in general). I thought this collection was very well done and that each of the authors took up the same amount of space. By this I mean that no one author outshone the others by having a longer short story. The reason why I gave this book a three was that some of the stories were definitely more memorable for me than others, and some just left me with "meh" feelings. I don't know, maybe I'm just immune to meet cutes at this point (I hope not!). I will say that for the ones I liked, I liked them A LOT. Often I'd finish the short story and wish there were a whole book following the rest! Given it all, I felt this book was a smidge too hyped for what it is. It's still wonderful and makes you feel warm and fuzzy, but I was missing something from it that I wish I had gotten.
