    I really enjoyed this book it was such a different concept which was refreshing and I read most of it in a day. I feel like most books about a pop star and a fan are about them being in a relationship so I liked that this was different.

    I'm so upset my book has 16 missing pages because it skips to page 205, I'm gonna have to try and find a pdf somewhere because this is a pretty important bit.

    I was expecting a cringy romance but I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would

    How do you guys read a short story collection?

    Reading them linearly feels painful to me in a way I can't describe. It feels as if the book will never end. It's not exactly hard to see the progress as usual, but I feel like I'm starting something and ending something over and over again, which brings about this feeling of desperation in me. My brain immediately wants to be done with the book entirely after finishing a story, but there's still more shorts to go. But then again, skipping around the book is not perfect either. I end up feeling extremely disorganised. Randomly opening up a story, reading it and then randomly picking up another irks something in me that wants to see the stories finished like dominoes, one at a time. It's hard enough being spontaneous to read a short story collection in the first place, you know I usually do end up skipping around the book regardless, and reading alongside another book to make the whole thing feel like a side quest. But I would love to know how you tackle anthologies on your own. Also, any good recommendations? So far, I've been reading from authors I'm obsessed with and haven't ventured to anthologies from a collection of authors.
