Thank you netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for a review.

A bunch of cute, queer love stories.
Each story follow a popular trope, such as "hero vs. villain", "fake dating" or "snowed in together", and the settings are super diverse : fantasy words, science fiction or regular high-schoolers.
The diversity of genre and plot means that everyone can find a story that speaks to them. It's also a great way to discover several authors.

The only thing that made me a bit sad is the fact that in some stories focusing on 2 women who are falling for each other, the word lesbian isn't mentionned (and not because they're bi or pan).

These were such great stories with wonderful representation! Usually I’ll find that I only like one or two stories in these sorts of mashups, but in this case I enjoyed them all. They were really cute stories. My favorites were Five Stars, Edges, Hero vs. Villain, Fake Dating, Oblivious to Lovers, Boys Noise and Secret Royalty. I will be getting this when it is released and highly recommend it to others. Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the ARC!

I really liked the stories by Rebecca Podos, Malinda Lo, Gloria Chao, and Laura Silverman, but otherwise this was a very "just fine" collection, The wide array of genres was unexpected and I'm not sure it worked in terms of cohesiveness.

I got this off of Netgalley. These opinions are my own. I enjoyed reading these short stories! I’m a huge rom-com fan so it was fun to read these short stories with twists! I especially enjoyed Mason Deaver and Julian Winters stories as the are two of my favorite LGTBQ+ writers! It was fun to read some romantic tales on superheroes and pop stars! Would highly recommend this book for anyone who likes to read about love!

Such a good compilation!

This collection will be so fit for young adult LGBTQIAP romance lovers and it's coming out this December!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every story. Such a diverse read I would say!

My absolute favourites are Edges, What Makes Us Heroes, The Passover Date, Boys Noise and I liked the rest.

A collection of fifteen short stories by fifteen different authors!

Fantasy, sci-fi, magic, adventure, contemporary, superheroes and villians with great multicultural representation of characters.

Thank you, publisher and the authors, for the advance reading copy. I absolutely love this collection!
