This collection of short stories explores love in many ways. I found the different author's style to be different enough that I did not feel I was reading the same story over and over. The theme is love is love, and I find it engaging to learn more about a community that I respect and admire. My favorite stories were Silver Fox Linings by Anna Sparrows, Blooming for You by Jem Wendel, Only Want to Be With You by London Price, Misdialed But Meant To Be by Riley Long, and Smitten by Susan Scott Shelley and Chantal Mer (I wanted cookied after this one). Curiously, most of my favorites had a Meet Cute theme. I highly recommend this read and even more when they are benefiting the Rainbow Railroad, an organization needed more now than ever.
