Love Hurts by Malorie Blackman

I always feel guilty writing bad reviews but this was just... so bad. I’m keeping this short since I’m typing this on my phone but here we go. First of all, I got the impression it was a collection of short stories. It’s not. There’s 1/3 short stories and 2/3 excerpts from random published books? Those excerpts really made no sense to me whatsoever. You just get dumped in the middle of an existing book and try and figure out what the hell is going on.
Second, the few new short stories were not good. I did not really like any of them? Most were about 15-year-olds which I don’t identify with anymore and I try to read books with older protagonists. So bummer. But besides the young main characters I just didn’t like the stories? The only one I felt okay about was about the transgender girl, Dan turning into Danni. So, in the end, I only read the short stories and skipped the excerpts but in the end I also decided to skip over some of the short stories because after reading like 5 pages I still didn’t like them. So it’s a DNF for me but I marked it as finished to write this review.
