A review by krin
Amor Actually by Adriana Herrera, Sabrina Sol, Diana Muñoz Stewart, Alexis Daria, Zoey Castile, Mia Sosa, Priscilla Oliveras
4.0
Overall this was a nice collection of stories that wove together in a very clever way. Some of them were more or less subtle plays on the various storylines from Love Actually. I particularly liked how some of the stories flipped the script a bit on the originals (e.g., gender reversal in Love in Spanglish and two poly storylines.)
I at least liked all but one of the stories and loved a few of them. Generally I preferred the stories with the more mature characters. The stories were pretty steamy (at least one I would label more as erotica). It was lovely to see such a diversity of representation from across the Latine community, as well as different types of pairings.
The narration was well done overall - especially after the first couple of stories . . . after the narrators had settled in a little more.
I received an audio Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley and Dreamscape Media in exchange for an honest review.
