Fools In Love (E-ARC Review)

Hi! This book was given to me for free to Net Galley Read Now in exchange for an honest review. Honestly, I loved this anthology, and it was one of my favorite E-Arcs I’ve read this year.

Characters

The characters in each of the stories were well developed, and they each had their own personalities. With anthologies like this, characters can start to run together, but all the characters were different, and I could tell who I was reading about. All of the characters were sweet and really cared about the other people in the stories. The characters had interesting hobbies and backstories as well.

Plots

The plots to all the stories in this collection were interesting. Each one was different, and they were all unique based on the trope used. Some were modern stories, and some were fantasy and sci-fi. I enjoyed reading most of the stories here. Bloom, using the trope, Love Transcends Space and Time by Rebecca Barrow, follows a woman named Mera who is looking for someone she has seen in her mother’s garden and was talked about in letters. The Passover Date by Laura Silverman is a fun story following the fake dating trope. My final favorite story was These Strings by Lilliam Rivera is a fun take on sibling’s hot best friend.

Writing

I loved all the writing in the stories. All the writers were wonderful, even the ones I didn’t know of before, which for this anthology was a lot. All the writing matched the stories well, and I felt each author’s writing added to the story without taking away from the characters or the plot.

Romances

All the romances in this anthology were so cute. Most of them were LGTBQ+, which made me happy, and they were all executed well. I loved how each of the stories had a trope but flipped the trope on its head, adding their own unique way to tell the story. Each romance was interesting and I enjoyed seeing the characters get together.

Enjoyment

I had such a great time reading this book. The stories made me happy seeing the romance tropes I enjoy seeing told in a new way. Some stories are longer than others are, but they were all the length needed to tell the story.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion, and discuss how that relates to me as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand, am an introverted creative bookworm. 2- Miriam Kendrick from C

This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic. 14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it.

2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from this blog 1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before). Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook , so I ’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series! 2. A book you’d like to read. Romanov by Nadine Brandes I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads. 3. A classic you’d like to read. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of
