0I wish I grew up with this book as a teenager because a) I'm a sucker for romance and I always have been b) I needed diverse books back then. This anthology is a perfect Christmas gift for a teenage bookworm and I'm sure they'll spend hours reading and rereading their favourite stories.
My individual ratings are given below but take them with a grain of salt because some stories aren't usually what I gravitate towards so it took some time to wrap my head around them! But all in all, this was a quick, cute, cosy read and would probably charm you instantly.
I'm so grateful for all the authors who put together this amazing anthology, the publishers and Netgalley for sending me an eARC in exchange for a honest review!

*Silver and Gold by Natasha Ngan – 5 stars! This was so good! The spider squid sounded absolutely terrifying and I never want to see anything like that. I really enjoyed the characters and loved how they played off each other.
*Five Stars by Amy Spalding – Just like the title says – 5 stars! So so so good! I love Amy Spalding and this was so funny
