Summer Days and Summer Nights,
edited by Stephanie Perkins -- These twelve stories of summer love are
(almost) as delightful as the first twelve collected in
My True Love Gave to Me
(almost, because there is no Rainbow Rowell story in this collection).
As with any short story collection, there are high points and low points: I enjoyed
Perkins' follow-up to her winter story, could have done without
Francesca Lia Block's tale, I don't think Jon Skovron actually knows any
women based on how he writes them, but I loved Lev Grossman's story and
found that it ended the collection on just the right note. Fans of YA,
of romance, and of short stories will enjoy these seasonal offerings.
