Snow In Love

I bought this collection on my own from Amazon to support one of the writers who I know. I read the entire collection so this review unlike many of the others, is for the entire book, not just one short story.

This collection has eight short stories by eight different authors. The writing level within these stories varies by quite a bit. Some of the stories are very good and I enjoyed reading them. The one with Joy, the last one with Izabela, the first story with Lance, the one with the doctor, are the ones off the top of my head. Others were much harder to read and not as enjoyable.

Many of them spent a fair amount of book space setting up the story, but once it reached the denouement, spent about 3 paragraphs wrapping everything up so there was no real explanation of why two people are actually falling in love. You're just supposed to believe that the two characters who have known each other for a few days/weeks are now super seriously in love and all is good after one very quick discussion, who needs to actually know someone, let's get to the kissing.

There were relatively few editing mistakes, but I did spot one “your” instead of “you're” which is one of my pet peeves. I can't remember which short story had that one, though.

Overall, the collection had some hits but more misses.
