It’s a feast of irresistible characters, hilarious dialogue, and masterful storytelling, in short, everything you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell book.

Das war eine richtig tolle und solide Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten, die u.a. Bezüge zu den Büchern "Fangirl", "Carry On" und "Attachments" hatten. Die Geschichte "In Waiting" war mega! Diese Idee, wow. Davon hätte ich gerne ein ganzes Buch. Hier die individuellen Bewertungen: Midnights | 4,5* Kindred Spirits | 4* Winter Songs for Summer | 4,5* The Snow Ball | 4* If The Fates Allow | 4* The Prince and the Troll | 4* Mixed Messages | 3,5* Snow for Christmas | ausgelassen In Waiting | 5*
