He's Come Undone: A Romance Anthology, by Emma Barry
4.0
This was the first anthology that I've seen such a detailed list of content warnings, which was pretty impressive (and honestly, I probably would have chalked up the stage fright flashback feelings I had as, "She just wrote about it REALLY really well" had I not gone into the first story thinking, "Oh, is that an actual trigger? Shit.").
Anyway, on the whole, this was a solid anthology. I was annoyed at some of the stereotypes that were used as character traits, though when you are trying to cram a whole story into 75ish pages, I suppose that makes sense that you might fall back on some "types". I found something to enjoy about each of these, though I really think the first one was my favorite. (But yay for the nod to Frances Glessner Lee in the second!)
