It's hard to rate a short story collection, if only because the stories are all so varied. I loved the diversity of all of them, getting to hear the different voices of all the authors. The stories in the beginning and ending were the best, with the stories in the middle being a little more unforgettable. My favorite stories were: 

• The Rift by Claire Kann; I loved Kiara's hard personality, and this is one world I'd really enjoy reading more about.
• Renaissance by Emma K. Ohland; a simple story of a chance meeting and a sweet love, with hope at the end.
• The Undeniable Price of Everything by Z Brewer; another story I need more of, ending way too soon.
•  Concerto by Abdi Nazemian; love through music is beautiful, speaking through time. 
• Fractal Eyes by Ugocho M. Agoawike: beautiful writing, aching love story.
• Nobody Cares Who We Kiss at the End of the World by Leah Johnson; a story about fear, and a love that hurts, and happy endings.
