I was really excited for this one as it was full of tropes & short stories from 10 different authors. I love the idea of short stories because you get to the point in a short amount of pages instead of having a story drag out which often cause for a lot of useless dialogues & plot.
My two favorites were "Bye, Bye, Piper Berry" by Julie Murphy which excited me as this had a fat male MC! We don't often see these written and the representation of it really matters especially in YA books. And the other was "Shooting Stars" by Marissa Meyer because I love the idea of having a crush on a friend and of course one bed. I would love a full on book for these two the most.
I thought the first half of the book was more memorable than the last half. If you love YA romance and want to experience the different tropes. This one's for you!
I really liked the audio of this because each story had their own authors which made it exciting. The downside was that sometimes the story just ended and I often lost track of when it was a new one. There was one missing as from research turns out to be a graphic novel which would not be able to be translated well via audio.
