Reviews / Votes
A playful mash-up of new fare and fan favorites for Rowell completists, and an inviting introduction for new readers. * Publishers Weekly * The remarkable Rowell offers readers a generous serving of nine exemplary short stories that are, from the first to the last, romances of a sort . . . the appeal of these enchanting stories is universal . . . Best-selling and beloved, Rowell's writing will entice readers to the library in droves, whatever the weather. * Booklist (starred review) * Rowell offers more of what she does best: character-driven stories interlaced with a healthy dose of nerdiness and a little sappy indulgence thrown in as a treat. It's easy to get swept up in these tales and root so passionately for the protagonists that it almost hurts, but readers will close the covers feeling satisfied . . . A treat. * Kirkus Reviews *More details
