The Bookworm says... Maybe. Meet Cute is a lovely collection of short stories written by Jennifer Armentrout, Dhonielle Clayton, Katie Cotugno, Jocelyn Davies, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Nina LaCour, Emery Lord, Katharine McGee, Kass Morgan, Julie Murphy, Meredith Russo, Sara Shepard, Nicola Yoon, and Ibi Zoboi. Each short story is exactly what you would expect, based on the title- a meet cute. A "meet cute", as defined by Urban Dictionary, is a scene in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time. Each of the stories contained in this anthology is charming and wistful and makes you believe that love at first sight might really be possible. Days later I remained thinking about Aviva's statistics project and Blythe's mission. At the end of each story, I found myself frustrated that I had reached the end, because even after a short number of pages I was already rooting for the romance. This anthology is a light, feel-good summer read that will fill your heart with joy as you turn the pages on the beach; a collection of work from such talented authors would be hard pressed to disappoint.
"Your own age- you guess- but somehow younger- carefree, dead sure that the world is theirs to enjoy, with every intention of doing that." (From "Say Everything" by Huntley Fitzpatrick)
