This was cute! I loved how diverse and how many stories featured lgbt romances. I think my main issue though comes from the whole concept: we get a really short story of two characters meeting and then it ends. I want more! Don't tease me like this! But alas.
Like all anthologies, there are some stories I really loved and some I didn't like at all. I don't want to review every single story so I'll just mention my top three: "Click", "The Dictionary of You and Me", and "Oomph". I'm pretty sure I only loved the Click story because it gave me SO many Black Mirror vibes but I still thought it was fun. The Dictionary of You and Me is about a girl who works in a library who talks to a mystery boy on the phone trying to get him to return a dictionary and it was adorable. But my all time favorite of this book, the story that made reading this entire thing worth it was the Oomph story. Oh man, it had everything. It's about two girls who meet in an airport and hit it off. I wish it was a full length story- I want more of those two characters so much.
Overall a fair anthology! I've read worse for sure.
