This is a pretty sweet anthology of romance tropes, fifteen stories by fifteen authors, most with queer mains and poc rep and written in genres ranging from contemporary to fantasy and historical fiction. Some sci-fi, too, in the mix. As always with anthologies it was a little hit-and-miss - one or two were a struggle to get through, but most of them were pretty fun; a special shoutout to my favourites, Unfortunately, Blobs Do Not Eat Snacks by Rebecca Kim Well, The Passover Date by Laura Silverman, Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Malinda Lo, and Disaster by Rebecca Podos.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
