I’m definitely going to be reading more from this author. Last Stand at the Cinegor by Libba Bray (Rating: 4/5)Ī movie concession stand, two boys, an unrequited crush and a cursed movie makes for one bizarre and hilarious short story with a retro and supernatural feel to it. The story feels a bit rushed (but that is inevitably the tricky thing about novellas), but it’s a sweet and beautifully written story. A meeting with old friends results in a girl running into an old crush. The End of Love by Nina LaCour (Rating: 3/5)Ī lovely female/female centric romance from Nina LaCour. If you’re a fan of stories with a magical realism feel to it, you’ll quite enjoy this one. Head Scales, Tongue, Tail by Leigh Bardugo (Rating: 3.5/5)Ī gorgeous, if rather odd little read featuring river gods, monsters and a girl who isn’t sure whether or not her crush is completely human. Here’s a quick round up of what I thought of each of the stories: It’s a lot like love: hot and steamy, with enough heat to make you burn (from either passion or heartbreak).Īnd that is exactly what the marvellous list of authors (including Stephanie, who contributes a follow up to the story originally featured in the winter anthology) have showcased in their stories. From those swelteringly humid days, to the tempestuous thunderstorms resulting from the blistering heat, summer is a season that is far from being one dimensional.

What we forget is how many layers there are to summer.

When we talk about summer, we often think of beach days and ice-cream, flip flops and surfing the waves.
