(4,5/5) I liked the first story by Maureen Johnson. It was cosy & the characters were lovable and there was growth throughout.
(2,5/5) I didn't enjoy John Green's story as much. The main/narrating character and his male friend were really sexist and it contains a joke about Lindsey Lohan and an r-slur that were both completely unnecessary (and not corrected by other chars in the story). The girl-character was a not-like-other-girls classic, while descriptions of the cheerleader characters were extremely misogynistic.
(1/5) I'm not sure I'll finish the last story by Lauren Myracle. 8 pages in, the narrating character sounds very self-involved and the "love interest", who is Native American, is exoticised and essentialised by Native stereotypes. Again there is an ableist slur in the story.
Over all, 2,5 stars.

fun and festive but not the greatest book ever written 🤷♂️ nevertheless delivers pretty much exactly what you'd expect from it in an addictive and well paced way
