(Individual rating of each story below) 
 I read this this week when I was carrying the small purse because the book I am actually reading (The Snow Leopard) didn't fit in it (this one I bought on Kindle, so). It was also meant to distract me from what is becoming a very interesting albeit very dense read--and this it did and it didn't. 
 I'd say that the stories-I-enjoyed/stories-I-didn't ratio is pretty high, although not as high as in My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories. However, the ones I did enjoy I didn't enjoy nearly as much. I also don't think this one actually works as well as an anthology: the Summer theme cannot be as obviously recreated nor is as easily inserted into the plot; in fact, it was quite irrelevant to most of the stories. Not a bad thing per se, I was just thinking out loud. 
 So, if not Summer, what should be most characteristic of these stories? Well, they are love stories, so to me the answer is clearly THE CHARACTERS, and I kinda resent authors who don't think the same. This is, to me, also true of novels, but I think in short stories it is even more obvious. To try to fit a complex plot in a 30-page story can be contra-productive, I think, since you're giving up space that could've been focused on, for example, letting our characters know each other better. Anyways, I'm saying this because although I think some of the stories were well written and had an interesting plot, they didn't make me giggle or swoon at all, and I would have liked that. I was here for this! 
 So, instead of rating the stories with marks (I think I would pass all of them), I'll say how many giggles I rate them with: from 0 to 5, 5 being a giggling fit in which I needed to cover my face with a pillow and kick the air while reading. 
 "Head, Scales, Tongue, Tail" by Leigh Bardugo - 4 giggles 
 One of the best of the anthology. The characters were lovely, summer was an important theme, it took place in the span of several years (I like this as a device to create UST) and the main relationship was very giggle-worthy (though not all you could have dreamed of). The ending was a bit bizarre, but nice. 
 "The End of Love" by Nina Lacour - 2 giggles 
 Barely any giggles here. I kinda didn't see the UST because it was OBVIOUS they liked each other, EVEN TO THEM. What was the hold up? Also, I felt there was too much tell (and no show). 
 "Last Stand At the Cinegore" by Libba Bray - 4 giggles 
 I love everything Libba Bray does and I'm zero impartial, but this story was actually very funny. Maybe some of the giggling was driven more by witticisms than actual romantic tension, but giggle I did. Also, here the plot was convoluted, but to me it was well mixed with the characters' inner thoughts, their romance and their jokes. 
 "Sick Pleasure" by Francesca Lia Block - 3 giggles 
 That was a weird one. V. weird. I liked most of it (not the ending, I repeat, not the ending) and the format, characters and voice were actually very interesting. I did giggle, though I did feel this was not the author's main preoccupation. 
 ''In Ninety Minutes Turn North'' by Stephanie Perkins - 3.5 giggles 
 The first story about North and Marigold is my favourite Stephanie Perkins' thing ever. It was one of my favourite stories of the previous anthology (if not my favourite), and so although I love this couple, I would have much preferred to leave things as they were and focus on a new pairing. (view spoiler)[That's because although I can see them fighting and breaking up, it did feel a bit like a ploy to simply write a story about how they reconcile. (hide spoiler)]Also, although it was nice and North is the cutest, it didn't have enough alone-moments here. I WANTED MORE GIGGLES. But it was very nice. 
 ''Souvenirs'' by Tim Federle - 3.5 giggles 
 Very realistic (yet fun) portrayal of summer love. I loved the two main ideas, the: Yes, We Like Each Other Very Much, But This Is Going Nowhere and We Both Know It; and the: Hey, I Know He's a Bit of a Bastard, But He's Hot and I Like Him. I did not find it sad, it had just the perfect tone. And I loved the narrator's relationship with his mother. 
 ''Inertia'' by Veronica Roth - 2.5 giggles 
 Interesting plot, well (though I wouldn't say perfectly) executed, with nice characters. I did not feel the UST much, though, the tension. They were friends and they felt like friends... 
 ''Love is the Last Resort'' by Jon Skovron - 4 giggles 
 So, see? this is an example of an over-the-top plot and unrealistic set of characters. Completely bonkers all of it. AND YET. It was so fun and light, it made me giggle a lot. It's not to be taken seriously, just simply enjoyed. What more can you ask for, when you get 3 couples riding into the sunset? 
 ''Good Luck and Farewell'' by Brandy Colbert - 1.5 giggles 
 This one's very well written, but I felt the message was all wrong, the last line offended me the most. The narrator is an unhealthily dependent AND incredibly self-centred person: and although she realises about the latter thing being true by the end (not enough, though), her dependence is actually romanticised. The love interest is swoon-worthy, and any teen could realistically fall for him (not so much for her, to be honest), (view spoiler)[and yet still, the way the story is told, I have the feeling she would have fallen in love with absolutely ANY GUY, since she's just looking for a relationship to replace the one with her cousin (hide spoiler)]. 
 ''Brand New Attraction'' by Cassandra Clare - 1 giggles 
 I felt this was a horror story for pre-teens, not a love story for young adults. Not actually bad, just really really not it. 
 ''A Thousand Ways this Could All Go Wrong'' by Jennifer E. Smith - 4.5 giggles 
 Hey, I giggled. Sweet sweet characters and very nice writing. 
 ''The Map of Tiny Perfect Things'' by Lev Grossman - 3 giggles 
 This one is actually difficult to judge, as giggling-wise it actually rates quite low (to be fair, it would be like 2 giggles top), but for once, the fact that the plot is brought to the centre did not bother me, because it was well-paced, original, interesting, and cute. The story itself would be on the top 5, even if the romance is just ehhh. Also, anybody else tells me they don't like ebooks because they love the smell of books, and I bite their head off.
