Summer Days and Summer Nights: Twelve Love Stories by Stephanie Perkins
3.0
This book had the perfect summer vibe, I'll give it that. I decided to read it because Leigh Bardugo had a story in it and I've wanting to read more of her work lately but with a lot of other books on my currently reading pile I couldn't commit to a novel. After seeing Lev Grossman, Cassandra Clare and Veronica Roth were in the mix, I decided to go for it.
I think the writing was unique to each writer's voice and therefore I liked some stories better than others. They all, however, have a lot of heart and there's something for everyone in this book. I think some were strong and some left a lot of unanswered questions as well.
I enjoyed Bardugo's story, despite being left with a few confused questions. She has a way with words that makes her stories elegantly scripted and descriptive. They're dazzling and this is some of her finest example.
I will say one short stuck with me in particular. Roth's story felt raw and emotional and left me crying. It was incredibly deep and artistic and I wish it had been a fully fleshed out novel because I would have devoured that as well.
