Per usual, some stories were delightful, some were good, and some were just okay. Midnights by Rainbow Rowell (5 stars)-Wow. This one was a great set-up for the anthology. We get to read about two teens New Year's Eve through the years. You get to see their friendship turn to something more. Th...

Here is an old review of mine, perfect for the holiday season! An overall rating is hard to come by, because I feel like it is not fair to everyone. I rated stories for many different reasons.

A very mixed bag; a few I enjoyed, but overall not one I personally felt super enthusiastic about. I often feel ambivalent about anthologies, especially those featuring many different authors. I did, however, like Kelly Link’s Tam Lin story, which was the main reason I read it.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the review copy! Receiving a copy did not affect my views.Like most anthologies, some stories in here were gems and some were hmm-okay and I thought one was why-is-this-even-included. In general, I enjoyed reading this anthology as evidenced by the f...
