"Not everyone knows how to reach out for the things they want. Maybe midnight is exactly what these two need to get rolling—would you begrudge them that?"

Almost Midnight is a collection of two heartwarming stories of young love. And I just can't get enough of it! I love every bit of it, how the chapters are chopped into every New Year's eve until the time I finally reached that beautiful conclusion. I just can't help but feel giddy all over this one shot, plus all the illustrations are so adorable! Recommended to everyone who craves for a light and heartwarming read. My review for [b:Kindred Spirits|26365537|Kindred Spirits|Rainbow Rowell|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1450127643s/26365537.jpg|46367847] is here https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2399029312?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1 if you'd want to read it. (I got a separate book for it and it's only then that I realized it was actually compiled into one.)

This was really cute. I'd read the first story Midnight before and i still really enjoyed it. I hadn't read Kindred Spirit before, and actually really enjoyed it too. It was so cute!

I also loved all of the illustrations throughout.

Loved Kindred spirits which I’d already read and hated almost midnight so works out to a 3 star average I think!

Two quick reads about teens! Little tidbits, good mix of saccharine and emotion!

Super adorable short stories from Rainbow Rowell. Perfect for Christmas!

Elena and Gabe were undoubtedly my favourite <3 there's nothing cuter than nerdy love imo.

I looked at this book and I thought: I want to reread it. And of course I did.
I love both of these stories, but the first one is my favorite <3
