5.0

I kept hearing about this book over all of my podcasts and at first I was resistant, but then it kept coming up so I decided to give it a read. And I'm very glad I did. This is a good collection of stories from some of the more well known writers of YA today and their take on the idea of love at first sight. All of these were very sweet stories even the ones that were tinged with tragedy. They all did a good job of describing the various ways new and young love can bloom and how normal situations and set-ups can have unexpected results.

Originally I was going to give this four stars because I didn't love all the stories but when I looked back over the titles I realized it was only one that I had lukewarm feelings for. And even that one was enjoyable I just didn't enjoy it as much as I did the others . What I also love about these short stories collections is it gives you an idea of an author's writing style; so if you've been hesitant about picking up a specific author's work and you enjoy their short story, chances are you would enjoy a novel by them. I would definitely recommend this collection to any YA and romance lover.
