Fools in Love by Ashley Herring Blake, Rebecca Podos
4.0
A collection of short stories that are inspired by a variety of tropes. All of these stories are cute! I’m actually a little disappointed that some of these are not full-length novels. The stories span multiple genres and have a lot of LGBTQ+ pairings, with the majority being F/F (9 of the 15 stories).

-Contemporary
Five Stars by Amy Spalding:
-A case of “mistaken identity” strikes in this story.
-Contemporary
Unfortunately, Blobs Do Not Eat Snacks by Rebecca Kim Wells:
-What happens when a magical spell goes haywire and “kissing under the influence” occurs?
-Urban Fantasy
