My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories, by Stephanie Perkins
Boy, did this anthology take me a long time to read. I’m really happy I managed to get through it before February, since the stories were all Christmas or holiday themed.
I don’t think it’s fair to rate the anthology as a whole, so here are my ratings for each individual story:
Midnights - Rainbow Rowell: 5 ☆
The Lady and the Fox - Kelly Link: 2.5 ☆
Angels in the snow - Matt de la Peña: 3.5 ☆
Polaris is where you’ll fine me - Jenny Han: 4 ☆
It’s a Yuletide miracle, Charlie Brown - Stephanie Perkins: 5 ☆
Your temporary Santa - David Levithan: 3 ☆
Krampuslauf - Holly Black: 4 ☆
What the hell have you done Sophie Roth - Gayle Forman: 5 ☆
Beer buckets and baby Jesus - Myra McEntire: 5 ☆
Welcome to Christmas, CA - Kiersten White: 5 ☆
Star of Bethlehem - Ally Carter: 5 ☆
The girl who woke the Dreamer - Laini Taylor: 4 ☆
My least favourite one was The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link. I hardly understood anything, but the writing wasn’t bad and the pace was good which is why it got a 2.5/5
I adored a majority of the stories, only 4 of them didn’t get the perfect 5/5 rating, so I would definitely recommend this anthology if you’re looking for cute Christmassy romances that are easy to read.
