Emily Henry just never misses. It's a romance novel but it's also such a great discussion about friendships and not losing yourself in a relationship and how you inadvertently end up lonely when you try to protect yourself from loss and heartbreak too much.

I loved seeing a longer story in this one! Really felt like reading a lost episode from the TV series. The short stories were also nice, I particularly enjoyed getting a bit more Spike/Dru/Angel backstory.

This is a series of standalone episodes that go along with season 3. They are fun, but they don't really add anything substantial.

There is a sudden two-season jump in there that was very confusing, but the first few stories were great!

The Spike/Drusilla story was a bit random, but I really enjoyed The Origin! I know lots of people complained but I love that they decided to keep Dawn for the early stories.
