Of course I found some stories more enjoyable than others, but that is to be expected in an anthology. Over all this book has a good mix of contemporary and paranormal stories, with a pleasantly diverse range of characters.

I would have to say that my favorite story was A Thousand Ways This Could All Go Wrong by Jennifer E. Smith and on it's merit (and that fact that I didn't dislike any of the stories) that I'm giving the anthology a FIVE STAR rating as a whole - yes it was that frigging adorable (and also the majority of the stories ranked high with me).

Head, Scales, Tongue, Tail by Leigh Bardugo - 4/5 Stars.
The End of Love by Nina LaCour - 4/5 Stars.
Last Stand at the Cinegore by Libba Bray - 2/5 Stars.
Sick Pleasure for A and U by Francesca Lia Block - 2/5 Stars.
In Ninety Minutes, Turn North by Stephanie Perkins - 4/5 Stars.
Souvenirs by Tim Federle - 3/5 Stars.
Inertia by Veronica Roth - 5/5 Stars.
Love is the Last Resort by Jon Skovron - 3/5 Stars.
Good Luck and Farewell by Brandy Colbert - 5/5 Stars.
Brand New Attraction by Cassandra Clare - 3/5 Stars.
A Thousand Ways This Could All Go Wrong by Jennifer E. Smith - 5/5 Stars.
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things by Lev Grossman - 3/5 Stars.
