LOVE IS REAL. I cannot begin to explain how much I loved this book. I'm currently unable to see the person I love so I ended up with tears in my eyes almost every time I finished one of these stories because of how much they made me think about him. Also most of these stories are beautifully written and made my heart flutter with their cuteness. I'm giving it five stars in spite of the 1 star stories because they weren't actually terrible but compared to the others they were completely forgetable. I would reccomend reading this whole anthology just for "The Unlikely Likelihood Of Falling In Love" alone so the good stories in here are worth reading the mediocre ones.
Also I'm SO HAPPY for the sapphic rep. I was a little surprised that it was the only lgbt rep but pleasantly so because many times I've seen an overwhelming love for mlm stories but not wlw, I'm glad that was not the case here. Here's a tip, I imagined all the characters as poc unless it was explicitly stated otherwise (for example "pale skin" doesn't necesarily has to mean white but "white girl" does), it just made the experience so much more enjoyable. Please, please, pleaseee read this adorable little book.
