Not that great
Reading this book is indeed a Worst Laid Plan. While a few stories (Greg Sisco, Hailey Piper, and V. Castro) stood out from the pack, most of the rest were lackluster, mediocre, confusing, unoriginal, or underdeveloped. I was really excited about this book and was super into the theme, but overall I was pretty disappointed. I rated each story on a ten star system and came to a mean rating of 4.7 for the anthology, which I've converted to ⭐️⭐️ for Amazon, Goodreads, and IG. For anyone interested, here's my story by story ratings (out of 10):
