4.0
I'm giving this 4 stars because some stories in this definitely deserve a 4 star review, if not even 5.
As with almost all anthologies, some stories fell short, and some shined. What I loved is that they are really all connected with Spring so this was a perfect time to immerse myself in them. The standouts for me are strangely the first two stories, "But For A Dream" and "Far Far Awake". Both about grand loves but one sad and one happy.
I also really liked "I Love Quiet Places" although I wished for it to be a bit longer, if only to have a bit more conclusion with Afton and our lead.
