read this anthology of fifteen young adult stories each centered around a specific trope, from snowed in to mistaken identity to mutual pining. It&#8217;s queer as all get out, with quite a few sapphic pairings as well as some gay and trans characters. It&#8217;s also delightfully diverse, in both its characters and authors.<\/p>\n<p>Like most collections, there are some stories I liked more than others. First up, the fantasy\/scifi stories.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd now said competitor is trying to get me drunk. I should report them to the trail runners for subterfuge.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSubterfuge!\u201d Ru looked gleeful. \u201cWhat a delightful word!\u201d<br \/>\nMila rolled her eyes. \u201cWhat would <em>you<\/em> call it, then?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSeduction.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Natasha Ngan&#8217;s &#8220;Silver and Gold&#8221; (snowed in together) covered a moment of quiet and understanding in the middle of a fantasy Iditarod. This was delightful, atmospheric and adventurous by turns, and it was a great start to the collection.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Kim Wells&#8217; &#8220;Unfortunately, Blobs Do Not Eat Snacks&#8221; recounts Tess and Davina&#8217;s attempts to complete their magical academy exam&#8230;. if they can get to the small town they&#8217;re supposed to investigate some random minor magical mishap in without killing each. This is the &#8220;kissing under the influence&#8221; trope, which is not a particular favorite of mine, but I adored this story and would love an entire series starring Tess and Davina. Definitely one of my top faves!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What Makes Us Heroes&#8221; is one where the author, Julian Winters, went all out and decided to interrogate the trope of hero vs villain. In a world where superpowers are hereditary but racial and class inequalities still exist, what is the real difference between heroes and villains?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My Best Friend&#8217;s Girl&#8221; by Sara Farizan helpfully tells you what the trope is in the title, but the rest of the story, about a regular girl who falls for her superhero best friend&#8217;s girlfriend, was anything but boring. The world-building was fascinating, and I loved the portrayal of the relationships between all three of them. This is definitely an author I&#8217;ll be looking out for.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Disaster&#8221; by Rebecca Podos is the last story in the collection and straddles the line between contemporary and SF. I loved this one, its sly humor and utter believability of a second chance romance resisted due to the possible complete destruction of the earth.<\/p>\n<p>As for ones that particularly didn&#8217;t work, &#8220;Girls Just Want to Have Fun&#8221; by Malinda Lo was, like the title says, incredibly fun, but it also reminded me a lot of <em>Cinder<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly enough, the contemporary stories had even more standouts, though I have a bit less to say about them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEarlier today she was a crush, just someone to look at, really. She was more like a metaphor than a real girl, if I was honest with myself. She was freedom and confidence and being out in a way I still couldn\u2019t completely imagine. But now, in a matter of minutes, she\u2019s transformed into something way more and less than that all at once. Just a girl I feel like I could understand and who maybe could understand me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Five Stars&#8221; by Amy Spalding involves a case of mistaken identity when Krista, who recently moved to LA, gets mistaken for a rideshare driver by Audrey, the hottest girl in high school. It&#8217;s so cute, and Krista&#8217;s internal freakout is hilarious and so sweet. I absolutely adored this one. Almost equal to me was\u00a0Laura Silverman&#8217;s &#8220;The Passover Date.&#8221; It had one of my favorite tropes, fake dating, and was cheesy (literally) in all the best ways.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Moskowitz&#8217;s &#8220;And&#8221; has one of my least favorite tropes, the love triangle, and while I liked the way it was resolved, the second-person POV was very jarring.\u00a0Lilliam Rivera&#8217;s &#8220;These Strings&#8221; has the sibling&#8217;s best friend trope, a favorite of mine, but despite the interesting premise (Latinx puppeteers!) the emotions fell flat for me. In contrast,\u00a0&#8220;Teed Up&#8221; by Gloria Chao deals with some of the same feelings (feeling unheard by your parents) but it worked out a lot better for me, despite revolving around golf, which is definitely not an area of interest for me.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, while there were a handful of stories I didn&#8217;t particularly care for, overall the stories I liked were enough to earn this collection a solid 4 stars from me. Highly recommended if you&#8217;re a fan of romance tropes and want several fresh views!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a humongous fan of romance tropes, so I was especially excited to read this anthology of fifteen young adult stories each centered around a specific trope, from snowed in to mistaken identity to mutual pining.
