3.0

I think this is a really sweet collection of vignettes, but I will say I felt like every time one of the stories started to gain momentum, they were already over! I was curious to follow several of the couples for a bit longer and see some substantial character development, but with page restrictions, I can see that's probably hoping for too much. I will read the second volume and see how that collection comes together.
