Serendipity: Ten Romantic Tropes, Transformed by Marissa Meyer

4.0

This collection of short stories was a fun read. It was refreshing to see some of the well-known romantic tropes given a twist. It was fun to see these tropes that have been done over and over again but to feel like the stories and characters had more depth and they were not relying solely on the trope. I loved that these stories displayed a racially and sexually diverse cast of characters. Out of the 10 stories 4 of them feature LGBT romance stories and not one of those was a dramatic coming out stories. I can't explain wonderfully refreshing that was, to just have a love story about somebody who happened to be gay, having that fact treated as normal instead of this crazy big revelation was everything.
