Your rating:
Overall this is a very cute book. The stories were easy to read and all within a 3-4 star average which is pretty good. Everything was relatable and well described. The only thing is some stories were similar but there's only so much you can write about when it comes to quarantine.
here are my ratings/review for every single story:
Love, Delivered by Erin A. Craig
4 stars
this was sweet, a very strong start to the book. I enjoyed the characters and the romance was very cute.
The Socially Distant Dog-Walking Brigade by Bill Konigsberg
3 stars
so I'm not sure what it was about this that just got it a 3 stars. It wasn't bad by any means I actually enjoyed it a lot. I think I just had a bit higher expectations for the story. I also felt like it should have been shorter than it was. I will have to say the way the author described Anxiety was very relatable.
One Day by Sajni Patel
5 stars
THIS STORY IS SO FLUFFING CUTE I CANNOT. Pure perfection lies in this story. It's funny, charming and just so swoon worthy! And can we just talk about the ending? omg like my heart melted. AMAZING!! cannot wait to pick up anything else by Sajni.
The Rules of Comedy by Auriane Desombre
4.5 stars
This story was very cute and simple. I feel like it's a good pallet cleansing story. It was very cute, however, there was just something missing. The relationship between the two characters seemed very rushed and if it came out of no where... still cute tho
The New Boy Next Door by Natasha Preston
4.5 stars
This one was adorable as heck. I loved seeing the street come together and accept the characters into their community like that. It was really cute to see the relationship between the two characters grow as they got to know each other more. Very sweet.
Love with a Side of Fortune by Jennifer Yen
3.5 stars
Very cute, I liked the MC's mom for the most part however she was a bit annoying at times. I really enjoyed this one tho since it explored more of the current state were in with Covid, having some restrictions removed, so it was nice to see the characters do other things than being locked in their rooms.
The Green Thumb War by Brittney Morris
4 stars
omg every time that cat jumped I would get scared for it. Other than that it was sooooo cute! I also really wanna try her Lasagne.
Stuck with Her by Rachael Lippincott
3.5 stars
This was another very short story that I wish was a tad longer since there wasn't really wiggle room for the relationship to develop between the two characters. It went from hatred to love over night and I just didn't really find it as accurate as the others.
Masked by Erin Hahn
5 stars
OMG I ADORED THIS!! what an ending to this book! It was just so good! Loved all the characters in here and the romance was so flipping cute and swoon worthy! loved every second of it.
