How They Met and Other Stories by David Levithan
4.0
Best to worst is as follows
1. Starbucks boy (fun, cute, lighthearted)
2. The number of people who meet on airplanes (brilliant and heartwarming concept)
3. What a song can do (creative and moving)
4. Princes (good and interesting characters)
5. How they met (quite sweet and pleasant)
6. The alumni interview (honest)
7. A romantic inclination (strangely funny)
8. Andrew Chang (sort of interesting)
9. Lost sometimes (quite intense)
10. Breaking and entering (intriguing and sad)
11. Flirting with waiters (honest but a bit odd)
12. The good witch (sort of funny)
13. Skipping the prom (honest depiction)
14. Memory dance (sort of sweet)
15. Intersection (interesting but too short)
16. An escalator - a love story (confusing format)
17. Miss Lucy had a steamboat (didn't completely get it)
18. Without saying (didn't get it at all)
'How they met and other stories' is nice enough. All of the stories are clearly distinct from each other with different narrators/perspectives, making it quite fun that you don't know what you're going to get in each story. Some were a lot better than others and some were a bit frantic and incoherent, but that may have been the style? Overall, this is quite a good collection of short stories.
