"All love ends. "
"But it has to start somewhere"
Meet Cute is a collection of short stories based around concepts like fate, destiny and unconventional but adorable ways that two people can meet and slowly (or instantly, in some cases), begin to fall for one another. If you know me, like, at all, you know that I love love and I love the idea of meet cutes and coincidences that seem fated, etc. This anthology delivered on all of that and more. While I won't be describing each story, I'm going to take a second and rate my favorites of the bunch.
1. Somewhere That's Green: 4/5 - Just wonderful. Features a Trans protagonist and two gorgeous perspectives, and a story about acceptance and leaving fear behind.
2. The Way We Love Here: 4/5 Dhonielle never fails to come up with unique settings. You really get sucked up in this one.
3. Oomph: 5/5 Nothing like airport love to make you believe in Serendipity. Extra points for adorable banter.
4. The Dictionary of You and Me: 4/5 I love every book by the author, and I love that the title carries the same sort of style as her other novels. Very cute!
5. Something Real: 4/5 - Fat protagonist!!! BLESS UP. Plus, she gets to kiss an equally stunning girl and kick a lame guy to the curb. What else can you ask for??
6. The Department of Dead Love: 5/5 - The concept behind this story was sooooo cool. I'd love to see it as a full length contemporary ya novel to be honest. I'm rooting for these two.
These were my absolute favorites. That's not to say the others weren't cute; they definitely were! Siege Etiquette has a wonderful premise, and Print Shop was close to being one of my favorites. Say Everything was also written in second person and that made it so unique and immersive, and very much different from everything else.
I definitely have to recommend this anthology because you can split the stories up for whenever you need a mood lift or just something cute to make you smile. By the end of each story, I can assure you, you'll believe in love, destiny and all things in between.
