Reviewed by Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“You can spend your life waiting and watching for perfect moments, but sometimes you have to make one happen.”</i></b></blockquote> I loved Perkins' first short stories anthology, "My True Love Gave To Me" so I was excited to read this one, especially because where I live is summer so it's a perfect match for the season. Yet, I found this one slower and less exciting than the previous one - the tales didn't grip me as much and many of them didn't leave me with that tingly, warm feeling in the end. I still liked pratically all of them - with a few favorites. I LOVED Perkins continuation of the story she wrote for the first anthology - I was thrilled to revisit Marigold and North in another setting. Leigh Bardugo's writing is exceptional as always, Cassandra Clare's creepy circus tale was also so fun and exciting, Veronica Roth was surprisingly deep and emotional and Libba Bray is a horror/humor/romance fantastic combination. Jon Skovron was fun in a Jane Austen kind of way and I enjoyed it a lot. Souvenirs by Tim Fenderle was surprising and kind of bittersweet, but I loved it. Jennifer E. Smith was also adorable and heartwarming. Lev Grossman's...idk, I liked but I didn't love it. It was an interesting concept and a sweet, kind of sad story, but it wasn't the best one here. Nina LaCour's was okay, and it dealt with some really real issues, but it was also just nice. My least favorite one's were Brandy Colbert's (because the protagonist irritated me and came across as selfish and rude for most of the story), and Sick Pleasure by Francesca Lia Block. Still, an enjoyable, mostly quick and cute read.
