This anthology has been in my TBR for a year and I finish reading it in one day. I love all the story. My least favorite is the first story, but all the 4 stories are worth reading.

My most favorite is Beauties (the last story). It's an amazing retelling of Beauty and the Beast ❤

Ruined hooked me from the first page and the most interesting of the 4 stories... sadly it's not a complete story but an intro ( )

QUITE enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the continuation of some of the stories! ( )

It's an anthology - so like most anthologies, not all of it was to my taste.

I loved School Spirit - teenagers dealing with friendship, forbidden romances, and the parents who forbid said romances. First, Last and Always is short, but built around a clever premise. Ruined caught my attention... but the collection only contains part one, so the story cuts off just as I got invested.

Overall, I'm happy to have read it and pleased that the romances do cover a range of genres, writing, and artistic styles. ( )

There is nothing groundbreaking here, and like all anthologies it is a bit uneven, but I'd like to see another volume.
