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.
