enjoyable 4.00

The reviewer enjoyed this collection of YA love stories, praising several standout pieces like Leigh Bardugo's magical tale and Veronica Roth's emotional short. While some stories fell flat, the variety ensures there's something for everyone.

The reviewer initially approached this collection with caution, not typically being a fan of short stories. However, having enjoyed a previous anthology edited by Stephanie Perkins, they were willing to give it a chance. The collection features a diverse mix of authors and genres, making it likely that every reader will find at least one story they love. Standout stories include Leigh Bardugo's enchanting tale of summer romance and monster hunting, which the reviewer found sweet and enthralling. Veronica Roth's contribution, about a shared consciousness between an ex-couple, was particularly moving and brought the reviewer to tears. While some stories, like Cassandra Clare's, felt rushed and overstuffed, the overall collection is recommended for its variety and the introduction to new authors. The reviewer's TBR list has certainly grown as a result.

    There’s such a great mix of authors and genres in this collection it’s pretty much guaranteed that everyone will find a story they love.

    It’s very sweet and completely enthralling.

    There’s quite a lot packed in but is absolutely full of feels. One that made me cry which I take as a good sign.

The collection features renowned writers of both teen and adult fiction, offering a variety of settings and genres. Characters are well-drawn, and the language is compelling. Themes include struggling with well-being, witnessing separation or divorce, and the impacts of those experiences on building trust and new relationships. While the racial and ethnic diversity of characters could be broader, the star-studded lineup delivers a satisfying read. The book is capped off brilliantly with Lev Grossman's story, where protagonists experience time repeating in an endless loop until it doesn't.

Nina Lacour's 'The End of Love' was also highlighted for its sweet and touching lesbian romance. However, some stories, like Libba Bray's 'Last Stand At the Cinegore,' were criticized for being less romantic and atmospheric, with a scattered plot.

Quick quotes

    The summer took on a different shape - a desperate, jagged shape, the rise and fall of a dragon’s back. The world felt full of hazards. Every song on every album bristled with portent.

    Just because a person reveals something to you about yourself doesn’t mean they’re meant to do more than that.

    It can be hard to understand why we run toward certain people and away from others at different times in our lives. Why we search so hard for that thing we are looking for, and then run so fast when we find it.
