Sometimes the night of your dreams can be a total nightmare.The prom. It's supposed to be one of the best nights of your life. Or, at least, you're supposed to have a good time. But what if you'd rather be going with your best friend's date than your own? What if a sinister underground society of students has spiked the punch? What if your date turns out to be more of a frog than a prince? Or what if he's (literally) an ape? There are ways you can fight it. You can protest the silliness of the regular prom by hosting a backwards prom - also known as a morp. You can throw a prom for fat girls. You can stay at home to watch old teen movies and get your cute neighbor and his cuter brother to join you. You can dance to your own music.Here, 21 of the funniest, most imaginative writers today create their own kind of prom stories. Some are triumphs. Some are disasters. But each one is a night you'll never forget.

Unfortunately, this is a DNF. I thought I was going to absolutely love this collection of stories because they're set on prom night which is one of my favourite events to read about, but they just seem dry. They don't possess much charisma or excitement and they're very lacking in substance. Of course, you can't expect massive character development or plot development during stories as short as these, but I think it's just far, far too lacking for me to even try and enjoy. There's just something missing from these unfortunately. I'll leave my bookmark in it and will pick it back up at some point, definitely, because I hate leaving books unread and there's something telling me that there might be a hidden gem or two that might make the whole thing worth it.
