My Review:
As per usual, my
queen Stephanie Perkins hits me right in the feels!
Her beautiful
compilation of twelve summer love stories, most of which are short stories
contributed by other authors but edited by Perkins, brought tears to my eyes
and tugs on my heartstrings.
I love reading
Stephanie's work and she always ceases to amaze me with new ideas such as the
past two books with twelve love stories.
Inertia by Veronica Roth absolutely destroyed me and I had to put
the book down for a solid couple of hours to pull myself back together.
In Ninety Minutes, Turn North by Stephanie Perkins was a beautiful
continuation of another of her stories and it was wonderful to see where these
characters are now!
Love Is The Last Resort by Jon Skovron was super cute and I loved
how he included a gay couple, a Romeo/Juliet type couple and the main
characters who's disgust for love only brought them closer.
Brand New Attraction by Cassandra Clare was perfectly quirky,
magical and although there was some too-good-to-be-true insta-love, I loved the
story so so much and the character’s stories!
A Thousand Ways This Could All Go Wrong by Lev Grossman was my favourite story in
this book! It made me laugh, cry and it was the perfect story full of warm and
fuzzy feelings – a beautiful addition to this anthology.
All in all, I
couldn’t have been happier with Summer
Days And Summer Nights! I loved reading every author’s short story as they
each took me on new adventures, pulled new emotions from me and gave me love
stories I wish were my own!
