2.0
This book is an anthology of contemporary love stories, by some of today's hippest YA authors. It was okay but, no matter how hard I try, I just can't engage with short stories in the same way I can with a full-length novel. So, I admit there were a few stories in Meet Cute I read very quickly (as in, skimmed). And - as an extra aside - I must mention that a few of the stories written in second person kind of threw me off; it was a strange perspective to write from & made it difficult to connect with the characters (although I guess I have to give those authors compliments for trying).
When all was said and done, there were only two stand outs for me that I actually enjoyed...loved, even! These two stories were The Dictionary of You and Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout and The Unlikely Likelihood of Falling in Love by Joselyn Davies.
