#mystrangereading Meet Cute: Some People are Destined to Meet by Various Authors ⭐️⭐️Meh. I think after some reflection I'm going to bump this down to 2/5. I just really didn't enjoy it. If you like short stories, you might enjoy it. If you love 'meet cute' stories, then you will like it, but I just realized while I was reading each story that the 'meet cute' isn't the part of the story that I like. I enjoy the growth of a relationship and seeing the characters grow in their love of one another....

so it turns out love is a real and not fake thing that exists!! who knew? I certainly did not!It might be sort of horribly ironic that I rated almost half these stories a very mixed and very mediocre three stars. BUT there were some super great standouts, hm? Some that might… I don’t know… warrant buying this entire collection?Okay. Somewhere That’s Green by Meredith Russo was fantastic and important and so worth the read. Oomph by Emery Lord is the Cutest thing I have ever read. The Unlikely Li...

Sometimes I just need to get sucked into a feel-good story and stay there until I'm finished. Thankfully, I accomplished just that with this anthology full of short bursts of sweetness with meet-cutes, butterflies, first impressions, and so much more.

This is a wonderful book and will help you get out of a reading slump if you are in one.All the stories in this book dealt with quite the range of topics and every single one is vastly different than the rest. Every author approached the topic of a meet cute in their own way and watching how they laid out their stories was beautiful. I suppose this book is so easy to read because there is a lot less apprehension in the reader because we simply know that a meet cute will happen and the story beyo...

4.5 LOVED this! Definitely one of my new favorite YA anthologies! There were 4 stories in this collection I gave 5 stars to! Such an adorable, diverse and fun read!* I will be filming a review on this where I tell you my individual ratings for each story which I will then post to here!*

Average rating: 3.2/5My rating: 3/5This had such high points and low points, which is exactly how I feel after every single anthology I read. I think the concept of this whole collection was nice, but I would have liked a couple more stories from male perspectives - and a m/m story perhaps? Don't get me wrong, I loved how many f/f stories were in this, but I think it could have benefited from some other narrators. But let's get into my specific feelings on all 14 stories.Breakdown of the stories...

I LIKE LOVE, OKAY.from an artistic standpoint, that is. i like romantic comedies. i like romantic subplots in my favorite TV shows. all the best songs are about love. i read an endless string of disappointing contemporaries because every once in a while, i find one that makes me feel something.i'm cynical and pessimistic and sometimes mean. i can be bitter and hardhearted. but i like love-related art.so i was excited for this book, and, to some degree, i got what i expected. maybe not what i hop...

*Thanks to HMH Books for Young Readers for sending me an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.* Actual Rating: 3.54/5 stars Siege Etiquette by Katie Cotugno: 2 stars Unfortunately, I disliked both the POV of this story and the author’s writing style. Siege Etiquette was cute, but I also think that it wasn’t that interesting and I definitely wouldn’t be interested in reading more of this story. Print Shop by Nina LaCour: 3.5 stars I once again didn’t like the P

Let's just get into this.STORY ONE: SIEGE ETIQUETTE by Katie CotugnoYour heart is a siren wailing deep inside your chest.Hailey hides out with farmboy Wolf when police come to bust up her friend's party.Some things really annoyed me about this story.For one thing, Cotugno lets us know that there is a darkness in Hailey's life. What is it? How can we possibly be in her head and not know? I hate when authors pull this shit. The narrator has some deep, dark secret. In this case it is a secret from

DNF @ 50%This just wasn't for me. Some of the stories were cute but they all ended as soon as I got interested.

2.5 starsI’ve come to the conclusion that I’m probably a soulless husk with a stone-cold heart.Which, if you met me IRL, that wouldn't be far from the truth.A bit of an overexaggerating, I know, but I certainly felt like one reading Meet Cute.I think I’m in the minority where I didn’t like Meet Cute. When it comes to cute things to me, it varies. Red pandas are cute.*boop*And even some romance is cute. Especially anime romance because let’s be real, anime is better than real life.Meet Cute shoul...

All of these stories were PRESH! Anthologies are sometimes not my thing but THESE ALL WERE. MEET CUTES ARE THE BEST.My faves were Something Real, The Unlikelihood of Falling in Love, The dictionary of You and Me, The Intern, and Click. But I actually really liked all of them? The lowest rating I gave an individual story was 3.5/5 sooooooo ya know.

***Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog***Meet Cute: Some People Are Destined to Meet by various authorsPublisher: HMH Books for Young ReadersPublication Date: January 2, 2018Rating: 4 starsSource: eARC from NetGalleySummary (from Goodreads):Whether or not you believe in fate, or luck, or love at first sight, every romance has to start somewhere. MEET CUTE is an anthology of original short stories featuring tales of "how they first met" from some of today’s most popular YA authors. Readers

I don’t normally read anthologies, but this topic of meet-cutes and all of these fantastic authors, I just couldn’t resist. I read a couple of paragraphs of each story to decide if I wanted to continue. I read all of the stories except 4 of them and the stories that I did read were fantastic. Lots of great characters and clever set ups and representation. Some kissing, but looooooots of sweet moments. My ultimate favorite was JLA’s story that featured a library and an overdue dictionary. Overall...
