Scattered Showers
by Rainbow Rowell
Though it's not my favorite of her books, it was still very fun. Definitely will go over very well with fans of Rowell's books, particularly Fangirl, Eleanor and Park, and Carry On.
Scattered Showers is a collection of short stories about new connections and old ones that evolve into something more. Rowell is adept at writing about loveable nerds and new adults finding their way, and that really comes out with some of these. In my opinion, there wasn't a clunker in the lot, though the Simon Snow story felt more like a cookie thrown to fans than much of a story. That said, I can't see any Simon/Baz fans complaining a bit about that.
It's going to serve a bit as a time capsule as a couple of the pieces reference the pandemic. Though that wasn't really the main thrust of the story I think she did a fantastic job depicting the unique experience some people had trying to take recommended precautions while living in a state that was resistant to protocols.
A fun holiday read, since several of these take place over the holiday season.
