There are all sorts of sides to love, some of which are not always greatly explored in the common love stories we see more often. Love is a complicated emotion that we have all experienced in one form or another: from loving someone from a distance, to loving someone unconditionally and getting the same in return, to not really loving someone but being with them for the sake of it. David Levithan shows these raw sides of love and many more without any discrimination, with almost half these stories centring around homosexual relationships making for a super relatable look at an important part of growing up.
Notable story: The number of people who meet on airplanes stood out for me in this one. Very interesting look into the concepts of love, luck, fate and not believing in bad omens. Engaging from start to finish, and really heart warming.
