Can't
Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Wishful Endings. Waiting on Wednesday has been don for some
time so I am switching it up for now! Basically
books that are not yet out that we are dying to get our hands on. This week’s pick is:
Meet Cute: Some People Are Destined to Meet (Anthology by Jennifer L.
Armentrout)
Out: 1/2
From
Goodreads:
Whether
or not you believe in fate, or luck, or love at first sight, every romance has
to start somewhere. MEET CUTE is an
anthology of original short stories featuring tales of “how they first met”
from some of today’s most popular YA authors.
Readers
will experience Nina LaCour’s beautifully written piece about two Bay Area irls
meeting via a cranky customer service Tweet, Sara Shepard’s glossy tale about a
magazine intern and a young rock star, Nicola Yoon’s imaginative take on
break-ups and make-ups, Katie Cotugno’s story of two teens hiding out from the
police at a house party, and Huntley Fitzpatrick’s charming love story that
begins over iced teas at a diner.
There’s futuristic flirting from Kass Morgan and Katharine McGee, a
riveting transgender heroine from Meredith Russo, a subway missed connection
moment from Jocelyn Davies, and a girl determined to get out of her small town
from Ibi Zoboi. Jennifer Armentrout
writes a sweet story about finding love from a missing library book, Emery Lord
has a heartwarming and funny tale of two girls stuck in an airport, Dhonielle
Clayton takes a thoughtful, speculate approach to pre-destined love, and Julie
Murphy dreams up a fun twist on reality dating show contestants.
This
incredibly talented group of authors brings us a collection of stories that are
at turns romantic and witty, epic and everyday, heartbreaking and real.
Why I’m
Waiting:
Well many of these authors are on my LOVE and
AUTO BUY list and they are all together doing a book about how people meet….oh

ReplyDeleteI love so many of the authors, who contributed to this, but anthologies are hit or miss for me. I hope this is a hit for you.

This definitely sounds like a fun read, although I can also imagine feeling very frustrated if the stories are just about the initial meetings, like I'm sure I'd desperately want to see more.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. - Katie
I know the author, but this book is new to me. Thanks for sharing.
