Rowell does not disappoint!

The final story in particular just blew me away! But all of Rowell’s characters are people I would love to meet and be friends with in my life. Each of them seems to take up permanent residence in my mind.

Rainbow Rowell Never Disspoints

Loved these short stories especially the last “in waiting” her characters always feel so familiar like a life long friend.

An interesting anthology

A lot of these stories weren’t as interesting as others which is why I gave it 5 stars. Something for everyone. I felt like some stories had to be sped up to keep me even a little bit interested. But I know that’s more me than anything.

My only complaint is that I wish there were more platonic love stories, it get like a romantic love story in the majority of these short stories. But regardless I liked the book!

wonderful

I'm genuinely sad it's over. I love Rainbow Rowell and her stories are always wonderful. I loved getting to hear side stories about characters I loved and characters I wanted to know more about as well as new characters. I'd love more of these styled stories in the future too. just all around wonderful and superb.

Absolutely loved it

I love Rainbow Roswell’s writing so much! Each of these stories pulled me in, deeply. It amazed me how attached I became to the characters in such a short period of time, and that, even though the stories were short, they still resolved to a satisfying point. As a writer myself, the last one was still clever, and accurate! And I loved getting a tidbit of the futures of some beloved characters from 2 of her novels.
