Fools in Love is a collection of sweet stories all by different authors, with lovely characters and settings. 

What this book lacks is creativity. The book dragged on and on because every story was just like the last. The writing style and character arcs were a recycled formula with no fresh twits, whatsoever. Although I enjoyed that the stories featured LGBTQ+ and racially diverse characters, it was not enough to maintain my interest throughout it all. 

Thank you to NetGalley for my approval of this arc.
