Each of these stories were enjoyable in their own right, and the collection as a whole was well-curated. I guess I don't really think the romantic tropes featured were really all that transformed (some maybe were more than others, but most I felt were "transformed" in that they feature lgbtq+ representation?)
Overall, this was a light hearted, easy, and enjoyable read! I liked the diversity of the authors featured, both in writing style and the characters/scenarios they created. Each romance was focused in high school adolescence, so this was a fun reminiscent read, and also made me feel so hopeful for the next generations' openness and tolerance of diversity and just the fact that there is more readily-available representation of queer relationships, etc.
