THE COVER!!!! 
 First of all, I am super annoyed because this book was an utter disappointment. Secondly, I am angry at my phone and Goodreads because I typed out a review of SDSN last night, but when I hit 'save,' my data went out, and nothing actually saved. So that's fun. 
 When I see a book like this with a cover like this and a title like "Summer Days and Summer Nights" and 'edited by Stephanie Perkins' scrawled across the front, my expectations are basically fluff. Fun, sweet-and-a-little-bit-syrupy-like-a-snow-cone, adorable, sun-drunk summery cotton-candy-fluffy fluff. I expect swimming and hiking and kissing and shenanigans and kissing and did I mention kissing? What I don't expect are a shocking number of breakups and near death experiences. I'm not saying there can't be Serious Things because, Stephanie's other books contain serious things, but I basically expect a short Stephanie Perkins book set in summer condensed into about 30 pages so while you can get serious, you don't have a whole lotta time to do it. Like, did no one hand these authors a copy of My True Love Gave To Me and say, "Do THIS but minus snow, plus sunshine"? Because that would have been great. I enjoyed Stephanie's story, but I think this book being an overall disappointment rests on her shoulders as editor and chooser-of-contributing-authors. I see this group of authors, and yeah, I should have known better and managed my expectations because this group is not generally known for fluff. 
 Apologies if I get the story names wrong and out of order. I don't have my copy sitting in front of me atm.
