“Quick, big hearted, and well curated, this is an anthology of stories about love, but not love stories.”—School Library Journal
“Great for readers interested in bite-size bits of love and an admiration for the many ways it transpires.”—Booklist
Love can be many things—all-consuming, fleeting, vengeful, selfless, toxic, uplifting, and always, a core part of the teen experience that leaves an indelible mark. This enchanting, genre-crossing anthology delivers something for every reader with unique characters, global settings, and a dazzling mixture of historical, speculative, and contemporary fiction.
From Alexandra Alessandri’s story of a girl who learns to love herself as she battles chronic pain to David Bowles’s romantic tale of two princes from enemy Mesoamerican nations to Margarita Engle’s story of transcendent love between a mermaid and el zemí, a winged spirit, this feast of a collection gives us stories of love in all its many sweeping and complex forms across space, time, and genre
As love—familial love, the love between friends, the love of a cherished pet, and, yes, romantic love—manifests in each character’s life, it is sometimes all-consuming, but it’s always an incredibly compelling emotion capable of delivering devastating heartbreak as well as immense joy.
